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
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

Ooh I love this
Is there a community where there's daily interesting words, either from old timely English or just plain uncommon even in today's English?
That's how I learned English way back then, on top of having an awesome teacher encouraging it. She would ask the class to find a couple of words or give some weekly, have us write a couple sentences using it and she would correct us.
Searching for "etymology" on Sync for Lemmy brought up two results with less than 100 subscribers each.
Logophilia was the name of the Reddit one, but the equivalent here only has one subscriber
Good shout. I'll do that, thanks!
That would be a fun community! Not sure how popular it would be though. There's TIL obviously
On the German side of things, we have basically a "fabulous words" community, often just putting up words that are kind of neat, even if they're not particularly exotic: !famoseworte@feddit.org
Thanks the link don't work for me?
Ah, I selected the wrong instance when linking. Should work now.
Thanks mate
