If you go to lemmy.ml it’s just a bunch of fucking redditors with their dogshit memes and like three lemme users. It’s sad. I strongly encourage users of this site who are so inclined to take a break from infighting to bully neoliberals over there.

I think something else worth mentioning is that Lemmy instances never really built a unique culture, or personality. Hexbear definitely has some, probably partly as a result of growing out of Chapo, but I can’t think of one noteworthy Lemmy meme.

Do you count culture only in memes? Lemmy.ml is the hub for FOSS and privacy enthusiasts, it doesn’t go much beyond that (that I know of) because their user base shifts depending on migrations from Reddit. Lemmygrad has a culture as a welcoming ML community where people are always up to explain and we’re very patient. We also have several inside jokes.

All the other instances are too new or inactive to have developed anything yet

its not the hub but it I guess it’s a hub. but links to articles does not a culture make. Lemmygrad similar to here has a culture developed I would argue mostly on their subreddits before the ban, but it certainly maintains it

memes are more of an indicator species than a prerequisite though

I don’t know if I’d go that far. This post got some mocking replies at the bottom (like “F*ck Off you Lib”) and the OP got a ban for “liberal” according to the modlog. That’s something I’d expect here, not there. They were so unwelcome they made a clone community for leftistinfighting over on lemmy.ml

In hindsight ProleWiki counts so I retract the statement that there is no culture, but I still think there isn’t much. Maybe I just haven’t heard the inside jokes.

Perhaps the sudden introduction of an established site-culture will instigate the formation of counter-cultures in lemmy? Or perhaps we moan about the UI change for a week and promptly forget about federatin’ altogether…
