      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.
