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.

I agree. I'm a " reddit refugee " so to speak but I think people here are jumping the gun with their expectations. Of course, Lemmy is not brand new but the actual influx of users seems to be pretty recent.
It took years for reddit to really become a more diverse site that actually appealed to a wider demographic then just tech nerds and communists, which from what I can understand is more or less what lemmy was comprised of before the huge uptick in migration here lol.
Anyways I do think people need to cool it with their expectations. More and better moderating tools being needed is in no way limited to just Lemmy either. Mastodon also has problems with admins fucking with whole instances, or just outright disappearing and leaving the ship without a captain.
Its the teething stages of the fediverse. For what its worth, its fucking amazing thats something as decentralized is getting this much play anyways.
The more people that come along and the more diversity in communties will eventually make the fediverse a better and more useful place then reddit was. It will take some time though, and a much large user base. It will come though.
Were actual tankies (you know, like those on lemmygrad.ml) really that much of a part of Reddit in it's inception as well? Holly crap!
Is there a road map for Lemmy?
