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

this counts as social media..
I don’t really count Lemmy or Mastodon. They feel more like forums to me, but that might be my age showing. I know traditional forums these days have fallen out of popularity.
forums, message boards, reddunit, fuzzbook, instagone.. anywhere you interact with multiple ppl is these days technically social media
This is more content-first where facebook/twitter/etc are user-first. I think user-first brings out worse patterns.
As long as you get away from the social media algorithmic platforms it’s good
and where does one find those? everything is a damn algorithm nowadays
Pretty sure lemmy isn’t
Forums and blogs were not what people mean by "social media." Lemmy is an evolution of forums.
they are social. and they are a medium. hence.. social media
