Why is my home feed on lemmy and kbin filled with posts about beans? Where did this recent obsession come from?
Don’t question it, just enjoy it. You are now part of the greater Lemmy world. In five years you can break out the ‘I have been on Lemmy since the bean incident’ and all the originals will sound off with you while the new lemmings won’t get the inside joke.
You belong now.
There was a post on Lemmy yesterday that said something like “Lemmy will upvote anything this is just a photo of a tin of beans”. … and the shitposting started. :)
I’m sticking with ‘subscribed’ for a while
I think it’s mostly, if not completely (at least on my end), coming from shitpost related communities.
I’m seeing all of my bean posts specifically come from lemmyshitposts.
Also random, but my city’s subreddit last year actually founded a bean club online and then had monthly IRL meet ups where they would bring bean cans to trade.
The Lemmy front page algorithm still isn’t very good. Which results in a lot of shit post quality posts jumping to the top of the “hot” sorting.
That’s my favorite part of this site. Every time I open it I’m flooded by the shitwitching hour.
I love it as well. It’s great to see the insanity before I switch to my subscribed feed lol. People complaining just need to learn how to manage their feed and enjoy the beans.
It started here
That’s a little like saying the story of Noah’s Ark was the original flood myth. This meme’s bean around for a while.
Why am I not getting beans :(
