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.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

MODERATORS
The average person doesn't understand decentralizing networks.
Yeah, especially all the Reddit expats. Myself included. Took me a while to understand what federated meant and how it worked.
But also what redditors want from Lemmy vs what Lemmy is are somewhat two different things.
Would you mind doing a quick "ELI5"?
I'm probably not the right person to explain it as I still only have a rudimentary understand of it.
Thanks anyway. I'll read up!
@embrcrndm @altima_neo I'll just say this: I'm currently sending this from Mastodon. Your instance and my instance both use the ActivityPub protocol which is likened to email by many people.
Whoa shit, that's awesome!!
@embrcrndm No kidding :)
Welcome to the #fediverse!
I’m in the same boat. I feel like I get what Lemmy is really all about now, but I also feel like I still have no idea what all of it really is.
Is fun though
The average tech idealist underestimates network effects and natural centralization. Any goal beyond a single entity having over half the traffic is probably too ambitious.
