The problem is that there are no meme communities on Lemmy of comparable size that do not allow screenshots of witty social media posts/comments.
I wouldn't even count these as memes, but we already had that discussion. Some people think everything is a meme and that everything can be posted here, some disagree. The problem is there's no space for those who disagree. And I've even seen it that people who don't want these screenshots go and create their own community (or rather subreddit to be specific) but when it got sizeable enough, too many people don't care about why that sub was founded, and the sm screenshots were everywhere again.
There are however numerous large enough communities that allow or even specialize in that kind of content, so is it really asked too.much to move it to those communities?
