I get it. People on the whole don’t interact, they just want to scroll, and then there’s the “did they just go back to reddit after trying it here”. What’s the saying? “There are dozens of us! dozens!”

Honestly, you’ve got a couple things going on

1. Probably (I’m not checking) a lot of it is being posted by the mod, who is trying to get engagement in hopes of getting more people to post. And it’s HARD. Both coming up with enough content, much less very targeted (“memes”)
2. if you do come up with a alternative community, you’re going to see a lot of cross posting
3. people aren’t necessarily looking to see which community it came from, it just came across their feed, it’s cute, they upvote. If I posted a cute bad on superbowl the mod would yank it for being offtopic, but people would upvote it assuming it’s in an appropriate subreddit because that’s what they’ve signed up for. (Which is a similar problem with aww vs pics , I’d imagine)

And yeah, not a lot of memes, but the mod is trying their damndest since it’s hard getting a community to be active enough (less than 1% ever post, from what I can tell, and it’s hard to tell active counts based on subscriber counts )

I wish I had better options for you. My bet would be 50% of the people here would also join yours, but people would still be very casual about upvoting things.

But thanks for the kick - I need to go post.

Those are incredible.

What movie?

Yay, bowl of raw chicken dough!

I was trying to place the scent, and then it finally hit me.

They all seem right. iOS 26, Voyager 2.40.0

Weird, it’s all on one line, but I see all 5 styles

It’s definitely been a rough year for craft beer. Turning Point had to scale back as well.

Yeah, this has been fantastic. Oh, and it can convert the R-word to a feed. ;)

Yes. There are race tracks. You’re pretending there are no secondary effects or bad consequences.

“Police say two of the victims were innocent bystanders who were killed when the alleged street racer struck their vehicle and it burst into flames …He said the couple leaves behind four kids — ages 10 to 16… “They are deceased because of street racing. We also have one of the drivers who was street racing, he also lost his life,” said Fort Worth Officer Buddy Calzada. “We just can’t understand why somebody would continue to street race at a high rate of speed at the risk of losing their life or taking the life of someone else.””

I’m going to guess that “extremism on race” doesn’t extend that far to the white, I mean right.

Buy it on Bandcamp, then use Apple’s “iTunes music match” service, $25 a year if I remember right, which allows you to stream anything that you own and have added to iTunes, on any Apple device that has the same iCloud account id as iTunes.

Means that the artists get everything (Bandcamp Friday rules!) except the $25 a year.

Wouldn’t’ve - “wouldn’t of”

If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him.
