Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Because the fediverse is tiny. Just pull up All and you'll see how your posts are flooding the feed. More than likely you've already been blocked by many users.
But I don't see any of my posts on all. The most any of them has right now is 59 points, which is hardly a lot. And when I post them how would I know they are going to be popular and flood people's feeds? I wasn't expecting them to be very popular.
In this screenshot alone you can see three of your posts back to back to back on All.
Weird. You can see they don't have that many upvotes. It wasn't my intention to spam anyone's feed.
The lack of upvotes is likely because it was repeatedly posted. Try posting to no more than two well chosen communities at a time and see how that goes.
I'm not complaining about the lack of upvotes, just I don't see why it's getting promoted to your front page
Because the Fediverse is tiny like the old school internet used to be. We're measured in thousands of concurrent users rather than millions.
Surprised its even that high. Feels like about 80 people.
Users, not posters. People who regularly post might well be 80 people, reddit had an even worse ratio.
Popular posts still get >1k votes on Lemmy, so unless most of them are bots or sockpuppets that proves that there are more than 80 people who consume Lemmy content.
That's not how the fediverse works, posts don't get "promoted". The standard is usually chronological sorting, because there aren't quite enough posts to make sorting by popularity productive for longer sessions of scrolling. And sorting by popularity is still a far cry from the algorithmic bs that's standard for commercial social media.
