Sister communities:
Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

I see some Linux but I'm subscribed to a lot of techy communities. Self host, programming etc. So it's kinda normal.
Could be the default view on each instance... On my first account I subbed to a lot of different communities on different instances so I saw all the crap. Eventually due to all the politics bullshit I just migrated to my current instance which has hexbear and lemmygrad blocked so it's been a lot better.
But even so, I always see a bunch of politics crap on the memes community.
It feels like every 3rd post for me. But it doesn't really bother me.
edit Went ahead and scrolled past this post, counting how many Linux memes I saw. About 3 out of every 10.
Hopefully all the different clients will soon support good blocking. With connect for android I can block instances and keywords, but I most just continually block on a community basis what I don't want to see from All. I'm sure there are hundreds in there. This keeps it quite relevant for me but I'm still in the flow of seeing new subs. I do subscribe to all the ones I really like.
So it's a curation process, but a more active one vs trying to hunt subs down like I used to do with Reddit.
Yeah I also do see a lot more content of the communities I'm subbed to than of the instance I created my account in.
