I’ve noticed that there isn’t a single Lemmy community, Mbin magazine etc. for Fediverse memes.

Is that because 99.9% of the Threadiverse came directly from Reddit, almost all Lemmy communities and *bin magazines are outposts of subreddits, and Reddit doesn’t meme the Fediverse because hardly anyone on Reddit knows the Fediverse in the first place?

Is it, in addition, because especially Lemmy is too detached from the rest of the Fediverse to know what’s memeable and to really understand memes about the Fediverse outside Lemmy?

Or is it simply because Fediverse memes go into other, more general communites/magazines where they simply drown in the flood of other threads?

I mean, I barely see any memes about the Fediverse anywhere on Mastodon. That may be either because your typical Mastodonian is not cut from meme-maker wood, or your typical Mastodonian doesn’t know enough about the Fediverse beyond Mastodon, or next to nobody hashtags their meme posts. so they’re impossible to find.

And so I thought that this is more common in the Threadiverse, seeing as how meme-happy Reddit is.

    Here’s some stuff that I’d meme about:

    • Mastodon users thinking the Fediverse is only Mastodon
    • Lemmy users thinking the Threadiverse is only Lemmy
    • Mastodon users thinking the Fediverse started with Mastodon
    • Mastodon being ridiculously underpowered in comparison to just about everything else, particularly Hubzilla and (streams)
    • Mastodon users wishing Mastodon (or, better yet, “the Fediverse”) had certain features which are readily available just about everywhere outside of Mastodon
    • Mobile apps built against only Mastodon
    • Fediverse tools built against only Mastodon
    • Pleroma being lightweight
    • Mastodon’s culture which Mastodon users are trying to force upon the rest of the Fediverse
    • Forkey antics such as “Speak as cat”
    • Forkeys in general
    • Forkeys inspired by Blåhaj vs Mastodon’s mastodon plushie
    • Mastodon users still uploading videos to YouTube and not to PeerTube
    • Hubzilla’s UI
    • Sharkey’s infamously bad Mastodon API implementation
    • Friendica federating with everything, especially juxtaposed with some Mastodon users not wanting to federate with anything that isn’t vanilla Mastodon
    • Hubzilla’s ability to host Web pages
    • Nomadic identity
    • Bluesky’s AT protocol seeming like a cheap knock-off of the Zot and Nomad protocols in parts
    • Self-proclaimed Fediverse experts who actually barely know anything about Mastodon and don’t know anything about the rest of the Fediverse
    • Character limits
    • Threads perhaps wanting to EEE the Fediverse vs Mastodon actively trying to EEE the Fediverse right now
    • Mastodon’s poster-side content warnings set in stone in what they want to be the Fediverse culture vs Friendica’s, Hubzilla’s, (streams)’ and Forte’s automated, reader-side content warnings which have been around for longer
    • Generally, the Fediverse being older than Mastodon
    • Lemmy only barely federating with everything else
    • /kbin essentially being dead
    • Permissions on Hubzilla and (streams)
    • “Conversations” on Mastodon vs conversations on Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams)
    • Certain points in the Fediverse history

    Granted, I guess almost all of this will fly even over most c/Fediverse users’ heads due to how detached Lemmy is from the rest of the Fediverse. But I don’t really expect that many more Mastodon users to understand it, and those who do may be offended. Oh well.
