Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

On Lemmy you don't need them. On person-based social networks such as Mastodon or in this case Friendica, they help with visibility. Basically you follow hashtags and you can find lots of other people based on the content they make (that you're interested in - i.e.: you follow
#trainsand you get all sorts of posts regarding trains or railway in general). This also means that you can post something with a hashtag and lots of other people who are interested in that topic can follow you back.I do see why it might suck though. I rarely used them when posting to a Lemmy community or any sort of group on the Fediverse (mostly only when I wanted some extra engagement).
