My friends and I were trying to figure out how to set up an isolated WWW resistant to censorship and found identi.ca.

We set up an instance but never federated and used to to send memes to each other for years.

I did create an account on one of the federating services but it was rough back then. No one was tagging their post languages so it was like 10 or so different languages mixed together. I loved it.
