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.

    Interestingly enough, I was thinking about it earlier today.

    There is some potential for memes, especially with the latest dramas/debates on several topics, as well as the on-going feud with Reddit

    Would you like to create it? I have a few ideas I could translate into memes

    My best creation from a year ago: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/1868051

      I’ve started a new (streams) channel for Fediverse memes, but I thought Lemmy could be another, even better place to post them.

      I’ve already posted two creations of mine there, One does not simply implement FEP-ef61 with very extensive explanations and What if I told you the Fediverse is not only Mastodon? with only one link to explain it. I’m still trying to find the right amount of explanation for an audience that shall be mostly on Mastodon.

      Beyond that, I’ve got loads of ideas. But I don’t want to post more of them here than on (streams). So I’ll first have to define my way of posting them on (streams) to what will be a largely Mastodon audience in a way that satisfies Mastodon’s accessibility requirements the best. I hope to speed up my meme-posting rate then.

          I don’t think it’s wise to start a Lemmy community and then ask for other people to moderate it while being absent for weeks myself.

          In case you haven’t read, I’m not primarily a Lemmy user. I’m mostly on Hubzilla and second-mostly on (streams). It may actually occur that I’m not on Lemmy for multiple weeks in a row.

          Also, I don’t really want to take care of rules and that stuff.

        Interesting, how can I follow/comment on that stream from Lemmy? I tried searching for the link in the search bar but that didn’t work
