We’re 10k users. There’s not that much content on here. I didn’t post almost ever on reddit, but considering we need content, I steal images I find funny off imgur and post them here in an attempt to add content to the network.
If we fragment our ‘funny posts’ in tens of subreddits from dozens of instances most users aren’t subscribed to or don’t often browse, we’ll have a lot less to keep ourselves entertained.
Instead of trying to gatekeep when we hardly have enough users, why don’t you post things you do find appropriate for this subreddit and just scroll past or downvote what upsets you and move on? There’s no place or need for this sort of elitism and offering nothing better in return right now.

Fair point
“There’s no place or need for this sort of elitism and offering nothing better in return right now.”
Uncalled for
It’s less about the amount of text than the way posts are created. As I mentioned in another comment, screenshots are reposts by design whereas memes are supposedly OC, which I find more interesting for meaningful interactions
It’s a matter of time until enough people like you gather and make something more along the lines of what you’re picturing. And I’ll subscribe to that sublemmy too and just lurk. More jokes for me, I don’t care who made them or what the format is as long as they’re fun.
But I think this sublemmy has become our HQ and it will contain a lot of stuff of all makes, sites and qualities.
Yeah, I don’t think anyone is funny enough (or free enough in their lives) to produce enough original memes to keep us all engaged for long. For what it’s worth, I’ll stop sharing off site non original memes (which I select for liking) when there’s enough people to populate and have the capability to produce enough original and quality memes. Maybe 50k or 100k. For now we’re eating McDonald’s because nobody here can cook enough for everyone.
As long as people like stuff posted from other places even if it’s not pure meme form, I think it’s good enough for now.
If you tried to make an only pure and original memes on here for now, and would police it as such, I bet you’d get less than 5/day which would render it virtually dead.
In time, there will be better and/original memes but the newcomers have to have something to sink their teeth into.

I’ll try posting less text-heavy images, ok?

Stuff like this happens:
I see your point, I was just hoping for a place where people make efforts to engage with each other
It either grows and becomes that as well among other things or it dies because 10k users are too few I’d guess.
