    I fail to see how sharing memes is a bad thing. Lemmy is a great community, its leagues better than what Reddit was, even in its heyday, and certainly better than the shit-buffet it has become.

    While OC is great, it’s really tough to make, especially at the frequency needed to provide new content and keep people interested. Further, 90% (or something) of people on here lurk, with the remaining 10% split between commentators and posters.

    Don’t like it? Vote with your feet.

      If reposting memes, then why not do a quick reverse image search and grab a better version, as well? It seriously only takes mere seconds most of the time.

      Tineye works great, but there’s also Google reverse image search when that doesn’t provide the results you hope for.

      Not only does this generally improve the experience for everyone, but it also makes the platform much more appealing to outsiders that care about quality and will drive more quality users to Lemmy. On top of quality, but also things like links to and information about the creators, which is especially important for things like comics because the more people that know where to find the creators the more those creators can keep making their art.

      Obviously, I do my best to contribute to this, but the more people that join in the better.

          Managed to confuse someone besides myself while high

          fuck yeah I think that could be an achievement

          business acumen or something idk I’m high as fuck

          tldr yeah was just being silly I know those aren’t dogs.

          While looking for an opossum meme on my phone, not finding it between all the Luigi Mangione memes, and taking one from Google images instead, I had an introspective thought. Apologies if the confusion thing came off as rude. I did not intend to insult you, I just intended on celebrating my silly.

          With high doses of cannabis, for me, it’s “think fun thoughts = feel good feelings”. Sorry if I made you feel bad feelings. You got a really cool instance name, if that could possibly lift the mood and undo emotional damage. Also, I’m not just saying that. It’s cyberpunk af which is sick as hell homie

          an image of an opossum, "I captioned one day I'll shut up. Not today though." By the way, sorry if this is bad etiquette for accessibility use, but could you let me know if I can provide any help as someone with some JavaScript programming experience. I promise to not be intentionally cognitively quagmired.

          (As caused by my mind-altering chemical intake)

          (That previous additional caption joke was a coincidence, I did not know what the caption was before writing the accessibility description)

          Possums are awesomes! Possums eat ticks and other stuff you don’t want around and are immune to rabies. Good animal to share space with.
