Hi. Normally , I enjoy the original (or at least lesser-known) memes on here.

Lately however, I’ve noticed that despite the anti-repost rule on here, way too many posts recently have been reposts; many of them very well might literally appear in the first results of an image search for “[insert series] memes”.

Personally, I feel that the purpose of any Trek meme community should primarily be to explore strange new memes; while occasionally reposts commemorating seasonal events (as well as the occasional tastefully-timed time loop meme) are acceptable, I think they should never dominate this community. I am hoping we can reduce that frequency and return to our primary mission.

Thank you for your time in listening to my concerns. Glory to you and your house.

    but Reddit was a fully featured UI while Lemmy lacks most things that Reddit has, like post (+ user) flairs, which this community

    I’m not saying you’re wrong, but it bears noting that Reddit 's search was so bad, entire second tier search websites exist.

      Yikes, true dat. PieFed’s search is also pretty bad, and tbh, Lemmy’s is amazing and about to get better iirc by being able to restrict a search to only look at post titles. This is definitely an example of something that Lemmy does really super well.

      Also, fuck spez!

          Maybe a dozen times, maybe a hundred, it’s impossible to say how many are necessary. 🤪

              I wanna use this meme to make a joke about fuck spez (edit: and the interrelationship between Reddit and Lemmy):

              But the level of meta collapsed in upon itself and created a singularity, and now I’m too tired and going to go to bed.

              Btw, fuck spez. 😁
