    Honestly, I used to make more of the memes I posted, but they take a lot of effort and the memes will sometimes not land, even when I think they’re hilarious. This wasn’t an issue when I felt I could post whenever I feel like, but as people started to look up to me in femcelmemes and as I became the sole moderator for a time, I quickly realized my oc wouldn’t be enough. I couldn’t compel myself to make them on demand.

    At some point I decided I wanted there to be a new post everyday in femcelmemes. If other people were posting consistently, I often wouldn’t post at all. When there were stretches of no one else posting, I wanted to make sure I had a backlog of good stuff to post. This rule is entirely made up out of my self interested desire to keep the com I fell in love with active. I love the vibe and want it to be a place people can rely on for girly funnies.

    I’m fine if I can’t meet my funni quotas on my own, because the best stuff is always made in collaboration with others. No single individual is so talented that they can make all the good shit; we just need to combine forces and share memes freely. Nothing would make me happier than having my oc shared on any random platform, just like I enjoy reposting memes from any random platform.

    What I enjoy most nowadays is sharing oc from creators I enjoy and want others to experience. I share shaveposts and shenposts, GRS and the finest deranged gay memes I can find, and of course I share low effort panels from the ungodly amount of yuri I read. I just want other people to be able to enjoy my hobbies (⁠٥⁠↼⁠_⁠↼⁠)

        I try to attribute artwork, but it’s hard to know who wrote a meme unless there’s an unmistakable style (like your stuff has). For example:

        There is no real way to know that I personally cobbled this meme together after googling “blue shark” and finding it utterly adorable. My personal story doesn’t matter, because it’s a meme I made to be generalized. I just want other people to feel the joy of doting over the real life blahaj.

        It’s not a feeling I own or care to own. That’s not the way I view all memes, but the way I want mine to be. I want my jokes to be retold by people who will never know me. I find it magical that we can have both highly distinctive memes that capture an individual’s personality and totally anonymized memes that capture common ideas.

        There should be someone to create activity in just created communities (or in abandoned communities if one wishes to resurrect it). People can’t post in your community if they don’t even know it exists - and posting stuff is the main way to tell others about this new place. It usually requires a lot of posts to break through the unending flow of 196 content.

          yup, and as someone who goes directly to coms individually, not browsing by subscriptions or all, and only sorts by new, I like seeing new memes in a com whenever I check in the morning. For the weirdos like me, not having daily content makes me check it less often. I only catch up every couple of months once most of the discussions have already run their course.
