"lemmy?"
"lemmy show u more memes"

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fuck this is really good.

"Lemmy show you something cool."

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

we finally have something instead of:

"I read it [on the internet]"

"I reddit"

Matrix would’ve been better imho

If only I could get my contacts to join me.... I have two (real-life) friends in XMPP and none in Matrix 😅 I count my blessings and am thankful to have a few contacts that use Signal. I make sure to compensate them for their service with memes borrowed from Lemmy.

ejabberd recently announced full matrix federation at the server level, so there’s hope

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Matrix is the most secure because most of the time not even you can decrypt your own chats

Decent SEO, hope we top out someday

alt-text: DuckDuckGo results for Lemmy, showing A British rock musician taking the top info card and top result while join–lemmy.org is #2

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To top out Lemmy would be a bad move. In this case we could consider a #2 being equal to being #1. Nothing's greater than Lemmy, a British rock musician.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Good stuff

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Seven or eleven

Snake eyes watching you

[–] powermaker450@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Signal and Lemmy, gotta be my two favorite genders

[–] lemmylem@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

not sure. I just use it to chat with friends, family and such, not so much for new connections

[–] Seraph@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But if you pop over to Reddit it's a lot of similar memes.

My Lemmy meme experience:

My Reddit meme experience:

File tixkets 4 maymays

This is one reason I’m not a fan of the block feature (and I suppose even have slight concerns about instances blocking other instances). “Recommendation transparency”(?).

Would be neat to say “here, I curated this feed for you” and link somebody to the instance you use with a block list embedded. If we get used to browsing without seeing furry goblin porn, friends might be surprised when we recommend a site that has so much of it.

[–] 50_centavos@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

My hope is that if enough people block an instance, it'll just die out over time from not enough interaction.

[–] banichan@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Should've said "the Internet", as most memes get cross-posted across various sites/apps.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

“Yeah I could’ve guessed that”

What kind of books do you like to read?

Oh, the kind with words in them.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[–] banichan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not even close to the same thing. Books generally don't copy other bodies of work like the way memes spread across multiple sites. I can't read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and expect to find a Tyrion chapter from A Clash of Kings.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

What kind of books do you like to read?

Oh, the kind I find at the library.

Good point so hope that’s better.

Bigger point is credit where credit is due! Maybe Lemmy’s curation is superior, allowing OP to see more memes of higher quality in the time they allocate for lulz. In that case they should definitely shout out the fediverse. There are dozens of us and we can use more!

[–] SinJab0n@mujico.org 1 points 1 year ago

The question was "where do u get the memes?", not "where do they come from?"

So yeah, we need some more reading comprehesion there bro

[–] rocky1138@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Be sure to include a URL next time

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This implies that you see memes on lemmy, that are not bad (or just few in number). What communities are you following?
