- A-frirmative.
- you got my 207th upvote. thx for your service o7

- FOUND ONE!! GET HIM!!
  
  I know what to do!

I like this template
- Would definitely park my car there lmao
  
  Probably not safe for citizens to enter the area to move them? And not worth the time to move them, just write it all off.
- yes very nice

sees meme posted on Lemmy
looks inside
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world
- Thank you for your service. 🫡
- I was confused when I first joined and thought that they were a community not a user because of the amount of my feed they had
  
  This is how I learned that they're not a community.
- One of my favorite posters named after my favorite captain. Memes, engage!
  
  Named after a maneuver
- Honestly feels like half the memes I upvote are from them lol

And I do my best to leave low effort shitpost comments!

O7
We salute you, the 20, we thank you.
\ You owe us many hours.
- Don't even sweet it.
  These hours are covered by my employer while I take a colossal shit
  
  My boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That’s why I shit on company time.
  
  Shit posting while shitting, a true multitasker, your employer is lucky to have you
- long may they live and may the meme spirits guide them.
  
  @slowmorella @EvilShrubbery may they get infinite cold pillows

honestly half the posts I upvote end up being from @LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone, cheers friend - you consistently brighten my day 💚
- Lady Butterfly is a wonderful member of this community!
  
  And so are you
- yeah, same. I'm happy she exists :)
  
  Right back at you ❤️
- I'm mostly here for the possums, bats, and other cute animals from @ickplant@lemmy.world.
  
  Thank you!!! I shall continue to serve!
- And you brighten mine friend 🧡
  
  I am so glad I found this post when I did, seeing all of your replies on this was really cute! This place is made so much better by your posts.
- Same, I'm a fan!
  
  You are also great
- Yeah same here! I really appreciate all her posts, not just memes but a lot of good discussions in other great communities too that would probably be pretty dead if it weren't for her.
  
  That's really nice of you thanks ☺️

Yay! You labeled the AI! That's literally all I'm asking
- We must make sure it’s easy for big tech to build clean datasets, after all.
  
  Or, ya know, teach people how to spot it and make it so that everyone knows what it is. Your theoretical is less important than the real, immediate impact of labeling.

Far better than Reddit. These are our heroes. I can scroll through once a day and get at least three quality entries with which to blast my friend chats in the face.

- I normally don't like characters like this, but man, he is pretty good in community. Also the fact that hes a real doctor is pretty awesome.

- You’ll just have to trust me that I already had this tag for you haha.
  
  What’s the +62 tag?
- that's not our friendly neighborhood asshole that's his archnemesis the green knight. who's also our friend, and lives in the neighborhood, and is an asshole, but we can't call him those in that order because of trademark law
- We all need an asshole because everybody poops.

Lol … No wonder why my feed is stale sometimes these 20 went on break.. Who told them to go on break ? 😭😭😭
- not me.
  
  What app do you use?
- I remember some people joking about the drop in activity when my kid was born last summer and I was offline for a while. Lol
- Sorry I had to help dad milk the dogs
- More like, the feed is stale because they feed the same stuff every day.
- I lost my housing and had to move and I got a new job that doesn't allow me to post the entire time.
  
  Sorry to hear that

Really wouldn't have thought this was an AI image, but thanks for mentioning it. I hate when I'm like "fooled" into thinking an image was fully human authored.

I have started to recognize usernames. This is a problem.
- why?
  
  Because that means exactly what the post says
  
  (darth vader voice) pray I don't recognize yours.
- You dont knooooow me.

I think reddit once said 1% of people post 90% of the content. I wonder if its the same here :D
What I wouldn't give for a sort post and see who the top posters are of all time are.
- Well there are people who write bots and i think it would be possible to do something like that.
- I think it must be. It was like 1 percent post, 9 percent comment, 90 percent lurk?
  
  Probably

The memes here are tip top. Better than any other social media site by far.

I keep coming to Lemmy in the hopes that I can delete Reddit eventually. Y'all are doing God's work.
- Just do it²
- It took me some time to finally leave reddit too. I deleted my account, but had this weird feeling of missing something, so I eventually created another. The thing is like a drug, and I believe all the big social media works the same.
  When I went back there after stopping for some time, I could realize how terrible some communities can be, how it was making me feel more depressed and angry, and how I was wasting time from my life in there.
  Then I deleted it for good, and filled that void with other things, both online and offline. Now I feel much better. One could argue that lemmy is just another social media, but it's different. it's not designed to keep us glued to the screen and have drug effects.
- Just post that you think genocide is wrong and they will delete your account for you.

I mostly come here for the memes.
I miss the beans memes.
- Be the change you want to see in the world and post beans
  
  (Chanting) Beans, beans, beans …
  
  Be the beans you want to see
- No please don’t wake the beans!
- The council (me) has decided that I too actually wanted to see bean memes again. It has bean started again

Thanks to @fossilesque for the science memes especially.
- It's a shame the show got cancelled
  
  This is fine?
  
  thanks for the great work :)
- yes!!

@NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org
- I’m stealing the second one :D
- unter anderen :)

Thank you for your contributions and giving me something to crosspost to help feed growing communities

Hey I'm doing my part by leaving shit comments.
- Thank you for this! I was too lazy to post the meme. ❤️❤️❤️

- They had a bad character arc and started being a shitty asshole, got called out for it, and just left. Probably the best outcome for everyone involved.
  
  This canon is always depressing

🥂
Here's to bones of the moon and the Picard maneuver!
- <3

Yes, the template is Al generated. No, i didn't find any better one. No, i didn't search for long because i'm lazy. Please just accept my gratitude.
Took me like 15 seconds
https://imgflip.com/memegenerator/415485805/Carrying-society
- Op only searched for 14 seconds
- i wanted a bunch of people carrying exactly one item.
  
  I got one!

To be fair, even on Reddit, there were about 10000x more lurkers/commenters than there were posters.
Reddit just had a massive population, so there were more posters than you could reasonably keep track of.
While the fediverse/Lemmy has grown significantly, it is still pretty small in comparison to the daily active Users on Reddit at its height, shortly prior to the first great exedous.
- I like talking about reddit in the past tense

Think of their joy when they see anyone else making a post. Must be a huge relief.
Unless they're getting paid to post... Who knows.
- Sadly I get no money at all. But I'm paid in joy which is better

Thanks boss.

And the usual amount of the same people replying to them. But once great things usually started small. These are our grassroot contributors.

I love all 20 of them (at least in science-memes)

And the lazy bastards in front aren't actually helping.
- Im pretty sure if there was an obstacle, they would kivk it out of the way. And they would walk trough spiderwebs first.

I want to start posting again, but I'm in the biggest creative slump I've ever had It's annoying.

Thanks!

That is very sadly true now

sure thing <3
- I've upvoted you 35 times so you're not lying.

Thanks to the heroes!!

Thank you all! Upvotes for everyone!

Thank you for your service 🥂

Good for you the Picard maneuver

Reddit/Digg was a link aggregator, so the fact that this platform is often mostly memes shows how little we’re actually engaging with the web as a network of blogs/personal sites/news etc by now in this world of paywalls, blocking adverts, cookie preferences, and age verification. Do actually share cool stuff you find though.

I'm offering derivative but non-meme content at c/Heathcliff

I'm tryin, whenever I think of simthin stupid or neat I share. Got a post half made for the California folk on my pc right now

I asked ai for a pic of you?
- Nice, not only do i seem very organized, i also have plants standing on my side keybord.
  
  The AI nailed it, hm? Now here's me:

As long as it’s the right people, I don’t really care. It’s about building community anyway, not consuming it.

Thanks everybody, for making Lemmy Reddit
/s

~~I like a good amount of AI generated meme templates tbh, especially the ones of wizards casting spellings or those skeletons riding motorcycles.~~
- THE SKELETONS CRANKING THEIR HOGS ARE REAL BROTHER! AROOOOOO
- But I love the wizardposting :(

This is not a sign of health. It just means that a small amount of people is in control of the narrative. Ironic, considering lemmy and what it proposes to project.
Edit: Yes please, downvote. Lemmy is the digital equivalence of gentrification.
- This is not a sign of health. It just means that a small amount of people is in control of the narrative. Ironic, considering lemmy and what it proposes to project.
  Be the change you want to see in the world. Spin up your ideologically pure instance that does everything right and show us how to do things.
  
  Nono, i'm on Lemmy. I can only point out issues and whine about them.
- I lurk, comment, and occasionally post. I'm certainly not one of the 20. I'm not sure what that makes me.

Have we gotten rid of mentally ill Pug of Jesus yet?
- what is wrong with pugjesus? dude almost single-handedly posts history memes, gives context, and seems a very chill person
  
  Well, I thought so too & I still am really happy for all the posts (I didn't know about their mod history, I don't follow such politics), but I (Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club) just got perma-banned from history comm a few minutes ago for saying countries with permanently present USA troops & USA nuclear weapons, and where USA gov influences what is taught in schools etc are "colonies".
  This wasn't against any rules & it was explanatory to why the OPs post pic ever came to existence.
  Idk, banning any slight USA "criticism" (if that's even what that was) feels like unnecessary shrinking the community, but modding is work too & someone has got to do it ... then again vibe banning feels like a wrong way forward.
  \ Generally I don't think ppl should be banned solely on pov (without being uncivil or something actually bad). No warning or a chance to reply. Just ban.
  I guess I can still read, but not updoot their history memery.
  
  Check Bloomcole's comment history, that will give you a clue why he says that. It includes sophisticated comments such as:
  Een kaaskut waarschijnlijk, de grootste ukronazi lulzuigers. Kom maar naar Antwerpen. Kan je gratis komen met het mongolenbusje? Ik removedslap je wel terug naar huis
  That said, PugJesus' !fediverseslander@lemmy.world could come off as a bit odd, but that's nothing in comparison.
  
  I have no patience for campism, which puts me on the bad side of many people on here who adore playing tribalist games about how some atrocities and some racism is good, for some bizarre fucking reason.
  Separately, I argue with a very bitter tone, which also puts me on the bad side of many people, and those folk are much more justified in feeling negatively towards me.
  
  LOL
