I’ve noticed that there isn’t a single Lemmy community, Mbin magazine etc. for Fediverse memes.

Is that because 99.9% of the Threadiverse came directly from Reddit, almost all Lemmy communities and *bin magazines are outposts of subreddits, and Reddit doesn’t meme the Fediverse because hardly anyone on Reddit knows the Fediverse in the first place?

Is it, in addition, because especially Lemmy is too detached from the rest of the Fediverse to know what’s memeable and to really understand memes about the Fediverse outside Lemmy?

Or is it simply because Fediverse memes go into other, more general communites/magazines where they simply drown in the flood of other threads?

I mean, I barely see any memes about the Fediverse anywhere on Mastodon. That may be either because your typical Mastodonian is not cut from meme-maker wood, or your typical Mastodonian doesn’t know enough about the Fediverse beyond Mastodon, or next to nobody hashtags their meme posts. so they’re impossible to find.

And so I thought that this is more common in the Threadiverse, seeing as how meme-happy Reddit is.

    There is still some material

    • the latest vegan vs LW drama (as a subtopic, Rooki getting unpopular)
    • the media bias fact checker backlash
    • obvious trolls trying to get in while they stand out due to the low population
    • Sublinks coming out soon™
    • Ongoing beef with Reddit
    • Regular beefs between communities (e.g. [email protected] vs [email protected] )
    • Lemmy.ml admins powertripping when someone criticizes the CCP
    • Piefed almost on-par with Lemmy while being developed by a single person in a year
    • US people taking over entire communities because why not ([email protected] being only US politics while the main LW admins are EU citizens)

      Yes I think memes can only arise when your community has enough lore and stories that people love to tell again and again. Eventually this will be the case here too !
