Why is most content on Lemmy just old memes? (lemm.ee)

I really like Lemmy so far, but sometimes my feed is just invaded by old facebook memes.

It’s because a lot of people here are people who miss the earlier days of the internet and are trying to recreate that feeling. I’m not that old but it’s got me feeling nostalgic so I enjoy it

The early days of the internet was waiting for 20 minutes for a naked picture of Pamela Anderson to finish loading on the screen. I'm not sure if anyone really wants to recreate that.

You’ve gone back too far! I meant mid to late aughts (2005-2010)
