To be fair, most of the memes posted on the fediverse are not very meme-y.
Don't let you memes be beans
That alarms me. The Fediverse is inherently self-selecting to nerds. You'd expect to see a higher standard for memecraft. It's like going to an anime con, and the artist's alley isn't full of fanworks that violate every known principle of anatomy. Or to a Sportsball match where they don't slam-dunk the touchdown bases.
Of course, we'll never top that picture which I thought for years was a deep-fried image of Hank Hill with the caption "E".
Dank memes take time to grow.
But shouldn't that be something to work on, then? There are plenty of great posts made. It's just that garbage often gets the same amount of attention as good content. Current thread presented as proof.
I've never been a meme maker myself, but for others, absolutely. The field is wide open for fresh memes.
