I’ve noticed that there isn’t a single Lemmy community, Mbin magazine etc. for Fediverse memes.
Is that because 99.9% of the Threadiverse came directly from Reddit, almost all Lemmy communities and *bin magazines are outposts of subreddits, and Reddit doesn’t meme the Fediverse because hardly anyone on Reddit knows the Fediverse in the first place?
Is it, in addition, because especially Lemmy is too detached from the rest of the Fediverse to know what’s memeable and to really understand memes about the Fediverse outside Lemmy?
Or is it simply because Fediverse memes go into other, more general communites/magazines where they simply drown in the flood of other threads?
I mean, I barely see any memes about the Fediverse anywhere on Mastodon. That may be either because your typical Mastodonian is not cut from meme-maker wood, or your typical Mastodonian doesn’t know enough about the Fediverse beyond Mastodon, or next to nobody hashtags their meme posts. so they’re impossible to find.
And so I thought that this is more common in the Threadiverse, seeing as how meme-happy Reddit is.
We can create a community together if you want to
I really shouldn’t and meme communities can be a bit hectic but it is a bit niche so should be manageable and, having thought about it, I think it would work. So, yeah, do it!
To be honest I’m also hesitating as they might be quite hectic to mod. I might post tomorrow on [email protected] to see if other people would be interested, I guess it would need around 5 mods just to be sure
You and me to start, advertise for more. Should be fine. It is a niche meme community.
Memes can get viral very fast, 50 comments on the one I posted on [email protected] , we would probably get a lot more on a dedicated meme community federated to the major instances
Your call. I’ll keep an eye out for progress.
