Post memes here.
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.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

MODERATORS
bluesky (or rather the underlying protocol, ATProto) is not actually decentralized. all public identity keys (signature keys) reside with a single entity (some non-profit organization in switzerland, PLC). if they get hacked, the hackers can forge any identity they want to.
only the messages and media files are stored decentralized, and the user profile personal information (profile picture, bio, etc). but not the crucial signature keys.
So it only exists to outsource the costs.
What's the symbol on the left?
The Fediverse / ActivityPub. The thing Lemmy is part of, where you're currently in.
Wait where am I? I took a left turn awhile back. Went past some Marxists and Linux users and ended up here.
You're part of a very, very large international polycule.
Lmao
thisss 100%
The tankies she told you not to worry about.
Hi, it's the Marxist you saw! o/ waves as you go past by
Ahhh thanks. I'm still very new to all this.
Welcome and enjoy!
Thanks!
That icon is much more noticeable using the web browser UI, appearing next to every post and every comment (clicking it goes to the home instance where the content came from), though 3rd-party apps substitute that with their own provided experience.
Like iirc Voyager has it upon the app startup but it's grey not colored like this, and I don't typically start Voyager from scratch but rather just pop it back up for as long as possible, so that startup screen is rarely visited.
I've been using Boost for Lemmy
I hear that was a good one, but never tried it. Maybe I am confusing it with another one (like Connect and/or Sync, though I historically have not cared about 3rd-party apps) but I thought it wasn't being updated for a long time - yet its last update was just last month so not a worry now (if it ever was)!
Fediverse.

Same as the one on the right:
I want to like BlueSky but my feeds are either super political or gay. It's totally fine to have gay shit there but a filter would be neat.
I enjoy me some gay shit. But at a point... I just want to not be horny. And blue sky disagrees with that.
Bluesky feeds have either porn, politics or both
I mean that's true of Mastodon also but most of those users are people who are at least one of trans, therian, or programmers, meaning they actually have brains in their heads
Sadly, I think Fedi made the bridge.
Not all of them. Blåhaj excludes all of Threads. I'm not sure about Bluesky or Mastodon, but haven't seen posts from there yet.
A lot of instances exclude Threads, but I think the bridgy is not built by the Bluesky folks, it's built by the community.
Check your instance's instance list to see what you are and aren't linked with. For lemmy instances, it's usually domain/instances, such as https://slrpnk.net/instances for yours.
Looks like slrpnk is linked to the bsky and indieweb bridges at brid.gy
Lemmy.World and my home instance Discuss.Online both federate with fed.brid.gy, but I've never once seen any content from there and from everything that I read it seems that federation is more or less irrelevant here - necessary but nowhere close to sufficient to make the interconnection happen.
"For the purpose of whatever's about to happen next, yes we're friends"
Forget the BS instances argument everyone keeps having.
The question I ask the ATProto folks is this: Explain how, if Bluesky went out of business tomorrow, the network keeps running without disruption.
I know that it can keep working, but unlike the Fediverse, it won't happen smoothly like if a major instance shuddered and people had to migrate. Bluesky holds the whole thing together in a way that impedes good decentralization.
