Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Very much this.
But also, just having a huge number of people on one platform makes for a lot more content on obscure topics. You can have a niche interest and find a whole-ass subreddit full of people with the same interest. There are definitely subreddits I miss. But not enough to wade through the cesspool that is Reddit to pick out the few remaining gems.
Yes, we can make similar communities on Lemmy, but without the sheer volume of eyeballs that Reddit has, there's next to no chance that such communities would take off. (I'd love to see an equivalent of /r/bestoflegal, but the only way that's feasible is for it to copy content from Reddit, which isn't really the solution I'm hoping for. /r/fuckhoa is endlessly entertaining, but again, way too niche to take off on Reddit. I think you all get what I'm saying here.)
100%, yep. It's all fully ass.
