    “Can we have something like multireddits please”

    “Can someone explain how the Fediverse works”

    “I’m making a new Lemmy app”

    “I can’t wait for [x] to make a Lemmy app”

    “Wtf is a tankie”

    “Rule”

    “[A meme about being trans]”

    “[A meme about being neuro-atypical]”

    “[A meme you have seen reposted a dozen times elsewhere]”

    “I miss Apollo”

    PS, I dont mean this in a bad way. I love Lemmy and it is hugely encouraging to see so many people use it. I’m just poking fun at trends I’m seeing emerge.

  • Maybe I’m just older and have been on the internet longer, but it doesn’t feel as much like the “early days” as it does feel like when I first came to Reddit after Digg died (without ever having been a Digg user; it just was a coincidence that I discovered Reddit because of the hubbub).

    I’ve been online since 1990 tho. I was literally there for the beginning of the “World Wide Web.” The true Wild West of the internet.

      Back before music piracy was a thing; because who’s going to download a 3-4MB file on a 14k4 modem? By the time you grab one song you’d have racked up such an internet bill you might as well have bought the single.

      • I remember spending all day downloading files from a Quake server because I happened upon a server running Team Fortress and had to download the mod. On a 28.8k dial-up modem. It was like 500MB or something.

        Then of course when I get into the game, it’s on ctf_crosstheborder and was the most confusing thing I had ever encountered.

        The days of overclocking your CPU so that your pr0n would load faster TT__TT and we used emojis like that. Those were dark days, but people learned a lot about CPU cooling.

    Plenty of tropes available to fill up the card:

    Lemmy is becoming reddit, reeeeee!

    Elon Musk Hate.

    Are we still doing X?

    My breakup letter to reddit.

    Repost ancient memes as if its new and clever.
