Why are here so many old memes?
let me guess you've arrived recently here to Lemmy
Ye couple days ago
So, the primordial lifeblood of Lemmy consisted of historical memes. It was the thing that kept the feed going for many weeks in the beginning, and we still see echoes of that. It makes me glad because I feel I'm in a cozy, familiar corner of the Internet, replaying an entire lifetime of memes here. It's as if meme culture was reincarnating in this very network of federated servers (ಥ ͜ʖಥ)
You and I are not alike... I'd rather see new memes over old nostalgic memes
Thine couple days ago, as well.
