!antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world That escalated quickly.
Advertised here last evening, then exploded.
All this did for me was escalate the memes on here enough to finally make me block c/memes and various imitations…
Understandable. Lemmy’s ranking logic kind of sucks. The memes are crowding out other content.
Kbin too. But, honestly, it’s not the fault of the memers. One of the things that both Lemmy and kbin are gonna need is a reasonable way to recommend starting content.
Showing all is okay when there’s virtually nothing on the Threadiverse, but it’s a firehose weighted towards high-traffic communities as the Threadiverse activity ramps up.
Maybe have an option to show, instead of just “all” or “subscribed”, “recommended”.
Ideally it’d be nice to try to recommend based on existing subscriptions or viewed content, but short of that, one approach might be to only show a percentage of posts on high-traffic communities, and as traffic rises, reduce that percentage. So you see a few posts from high-traffic communities, but not all of them. That’d help with discovery of lower-traffic communities.
Keep hearing the fediverse is full of mature, technical minded individuals. Glad to see memes are still the driving force of content.
Is it possible to block or filter out all communities with a specific term in their name?
Like, I’ve got a friend who wants to block posts from any community with “meme” in their name.
- Can he do that?
I think the only way is to do a community all search for “meme,” open up the top 10 or 15, then block each one.
Let’s see if we can get them to to sixth largest!
I think when you have a meme like that with such obvious provenance, it’s inevitably going to effect the value of other memes in the area. The whole point of this sub is to provide quality, interesting memes with real history and real pedigree. We need to work together to ensure that only the ripest hand-picked memes reach the meme-baskets of our fellow lemmites. X
Btw, I think this subscriber count only includes users from the same instance as viewer. You can for example use https://browse.feddit.de/, to see that !memes@lemmy.ml has almost 30k subscribers

Did a search for “memes” under communities > all. Technically, these are communities with “memes” in the title. So, it leaves out communities like Lemmy Shitpost, so I guess this title is actually misleading. I’ll edit it.
You’ve got something pretty interesting for us don’t you? Let’s take a look. Wow, yes. I think we might have something here. You should be pretty excited about this!
So, I’ve been looking at old memes for most of my career and only come across a few like this.
There were many communities made to capture old memes but only a few were truly popular. The rarity of these communities also plays a huge part in how valuable the memes are to collectors.
I’ve seen a few others in better condition, but collector demand for this item is still very high.
Given the condition of community and the records kept about the origins, at auction: I’d expect this to go for about…
… three to four million doge.

I’ve seen the old memes about 500x in my feed these last 2 days. Not bad or annoying enough to block, eventually I caved and subbed.
Also, starwarsmemes #3 🤘
Pushed it right to my block list.
