Browse All, Hot. Or New or Active. Like 50% of my feed is memes. Then you can join those communities manually to ensure you always see them and when you have enough communities you can switch to Subscribed to see only those communities.

50% memes? Those are some rookie numbers. 90% of my feeds are just memes or shitposts
Memes are a dime a dozen; we need more gay porn. I can sneeze and hit 50 chicks and 'AI art' from /all, but it's barren over here in dickland, even after finding a few communities. Furry gay porn too, gimme that soft, fuzzy, drippy, desperate bois... huff.
sir none of those words are in the Bible
Good, the less overlap of the Bible with my life the better.
true
Your post history is zero. Get some JFK in your life: “but what you can do for your country”
Nobody wants to see this body, I'm doing you all a favor lol
i have upvoted because this is funny, not because i agree with it
e621 isn't good for the latter?
I never really use Lemmy for porn and found reddit somewhat lacking in that as well; it mostly posted big budget stuff and onlyfans.
So uh, I've been a fur for (oh lord have mercy) two decades now. E6 is great, and FA is adding tag management to (theoretically) have a blacklist etc too. But at E6, unless it's piping hot content, I've seen it, saved it. And on FA, I follow checks 470 artists or characters, and while that's still expanding, again I feel like I've seen all of the kinks I'm after, and even diving into other stuff just to see. Hell, I'm still on SL for that personal touch, since my mind can only do so much.
Reddit still has a decent amount of gay stuff (or gay adjacent - /foreskin <3) but the furry porn largely died out with the protests, and is now scattered to the wind. I've got some on Twitter, some on bluesky, some on discord, some just closed up shop.
Interesting. I didn't realize Second Life had the ability to do furry avatars. Neat. Never realized reddit had new stuff that didn't make it to e6 or FA or other places.
Oh they have had them since inception, basically. SL was the place to be up until the VR craze if you wanted to "be" furry.
Most stuff new to me (not E6 or FA) comes through Twitter or Telegram. There a ton of furs on the bird, but I don't really know how to use Twitter so I just bumble around and get links to stuff from other sources.
It's Wednesday my dude!
I think I gotta start blocking memes, i keep blocking Yiff (furry porn apparently) and keep getting more
Is your account marked to show NSFW? I see zero NSFW content since mine is ticked off.
Select "All", you'll find them in about 7 out of 10 posts...
True but it's still an inferior meme platform which probably makes it marginally superior.
I use Voyager and my meme consumption quota is fully met
Lemmy.ca has old.lemmy.ca. If you still can't get your memes then I don't know what to say.
I'm using Connect. The experience is so Reddit like that there was no learning curve.
I use connect too but I think you misunderstood me. It's only inferior because of the size of the community, but as I said that also makes it better. It's like Reddit a whole bunch of years ago.
Why not Voyager?
Is there anyway to browse other instances as a guest?
Or as I just found out i needed a solution to. Is there anyway to have two groups of subscriptions? (Probably easiest to just set up another account)
I'd tell you about a great app specifically for meme browsing but the !fdroid community disagrees.
You mean people who are a bit overagressive about not using a paid app?
For real, I know how to browse 9gag and If I'd like to use the fediverse, I just know that I can go to c/memes or search for #memes . That doesn't sound like it's perfect and the fediverse should be perfect for this.
I just find meme communities here and there, join them, set my feed to newest, and then i start doomscrolling
But that's exactly how you would do it?
Search up "meme" in community search, subscribe to all the ones that interest you. Unlike 9gag, which just feeds you a stream of posts, you need to be proactive in knowing what you want and finding it. To a lesser extent, Reddit suffers from the same problem. (Though my understanding is that Reddit is becoming increasingly curated, making Reddit increasingly like 9gag in that respect). Regardless, with this type of social media, the 2 biggest ways of finding communities are to actively look for it yourself or to find out from a someone else.
It can also be a good idea to look at c/trendingcommunities@feddit.nl to keep updated on new communities
(talking about microblog fedi here, Lemmy/threadiverse is it's own thing)
don't do hashtags. hashtags (especially common ones like #memes) are overrun by repost bots and low quality garbage.
the trick is to be on a small-to-medium instance you vibe with (1k active users seems to be the sweet spot. anything larger than 2k I'd avoid. do NOT join any flagship instances like mastodon.social), follow fun people from your local timeline, and see who they boost. and follow up the boost chain until your timeline is sufficiently fun.
i sit in my instance /newest .. it seems to show stuff from other instances im not even subscribed to directly... found some neat new communities
