Lol I feel like !antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world polluted a lot of the internet lately.
Look i'm not that much of a curmudgeon that i begrudge people enjoying themselves and getting along, I just need to be able to easily filter content i have no interest in, memes/macros being one of those. I'm still accessing lemmy through mobile browser and can skim past all that quite easily on here, but kbin blew every image up automatically and it was 90% of the content and i couldn't figure out how to turn it off.
You should just need to block the community. There's a 🚫 symbol on the sidebar of a community, just click that and the posts should stop showing up on any of your feeds.
If you're on mobile, the formating is kinda fucked so you'll have to scroll to the bottom of the page to find it.
The problem is that multiple unrelated communities also saw a surge of old memes when the original community blew up
For a while, it felt like Lemmy Shitpost needed to outcompete it.
sure, yeah.. I thought it was harmless fun, myself
Oh i see it now! Thanks!
