Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

So basically you have the instance you are looking at. That instance has a list of communities (from any instance) that it knows about. A new community is added whenever somebody on that instance views or subscribes to that community for the first time.
When you go to ALL on that instance, it will show only posts from those communities (which are listed in the Communities/ALL tab). So larger instances (which know about more communities) will tend to have more stuff in ALL.
There is also the issue of defederating, where the instance decides to block other instances, and communities from those instances will not show up in ALL.
So ALL is a bit misleading since it doesn't show posts from all communities on the Lemmyverse, but only ones that the instance knows about and chooses to federate with. However, a lot of the large servers will probably be pretty similar content-wise (except for ones like Beehaw that defederated from other large instances for various reasons).
I believe there's a tool someone made that will have your instance pre-seed itself with other communities so they show up in all regardless of user subscription. Can't find it atm
