I would say right after reddit. So many reposts on Lemmy from reddit.
Mostly due to repost bots.
Remove em and it becomes better.
Also 4chan shouldn’t act like it’s all original either. Nowadays they to a large degree copy from Twitter and Reddit.
The meme is also outdated and it shows. Tumblr became its own ecosystem in the last few years thanks to Elons dumb antics on Twitter.
9gag also directly steals from reddit. They run scraping bots specifically to steal popular reddit posts.
I have seen mention of removing bots. Is there a way to do it for all repost bots? Our only blocking one at a time? Thanks!
There is a method to turn off all posts from accounts with the bot flag.
In your user settings:
Uncheck the Show Bot Accounts box, and press Save.
Thanks so much!
I saw my first shill bot on lemmy today (1 day old account posting a gif of a product and then responding to “cool where can I get one” with a purchase link). They deleted the post when I called them out
There’s still so many screenshots of Twitter. And I saw a couple of 9gag watermarks.
tbf it’s mor like a branch from reddit. Lemmy doesn’t feed anyone yet
This list might have been true 10 years ago
I can’t even think of a meme that 4chan has
n’tcome up with in the past decade (new racial slurs don’t count)Back in 2009 they were the bleeding edge for shitposts though
Edit: am illiterate
All the memes that are hot with Gen Z start on tiktok. They’re usually video based so couldn’t be on 4chan to begin with
You’re absolutely right, 4chan had the sauce back in the day.
Now it’s just sad.
I got into it for a while about ten years ago and at the time a lot of their content was spilling over to other sites and they were equal parts brilliant, stupid, witty, retarded, open and bigoted. They were a source of a lot of internet chatter that got people talking.
Now I go on once in a while to check in on them … and it feels like they’re stuck in the same rut and it’s the same group of weirdos trying to restart things that had already been done years ago. They’re not new anymore and they just sound like a broken recording playing the same thing over and over again. It was funny the first few times … now it’s just sad and stupid.
My thoughts on 4chan as a breeding ground of a pile of internet culture, the pretty well unrestrained anarchy that defines the place mixed with the ability to post whatever insanity drips out of your head makes for a perfect shit storm.
It’s a lot like bacteria in a petri dish, generations of meme evolutions happen in a matter of days until something shows up that’s so virulent it infects the rest of the web.
Yeah, its just not the same once mootles left
Did you mean “has”?
Yeah, edited
Now there’s LinkedIn between Facebook and Instagram
That’s about right for lemmy though isn’t it?
It’s a separate line coming off Reddit
A splash if you will
Depends on what instance/community. For example,
lemmygrad and Hexbear are a closed loop. They just trade shit back and forth.
I’ve never seen an original meme format there. It’s just political opinions in recycled formats

This was maybe true 7 years ago or so. But I can’t name a single meme that has come out of 4chan since Soyjaks went out of fashion (and I honestly think Soyjaks directly killed 4chan’s relevance to wider internet culture.)
Q-anon is probably the biggest one.
Check out the HBO documentary ‘Q: Into the Storm’.
There’s oc on most of the platforms listed, but it’s all such an incestuous clusterfuck that the order can never truly be determined.
Yeah, but how else am I gonna make a funny meme that makes people go “OMG so true”
In some far future someone will figure it out as part of their PhD in Memes
No one is in a line feeding one to the other … everyone is just in one giant hog pen where we keep picking up shit and flinging it at each other
What’s the M one?
Twitter should be above Reddit
A lot of Tumblr stuff on reddit too
At this point we might change the diagram to a circleshit.
I think it’s more like a cess pool and everyone is wallowing around it all thinking their part of the pool is better than anyone else.
Risa is jacking it into 4 chans mouth. I only post OP stuff
Lemmy sits in the corner, just watching :3
And furiously wanking.
Beating it like it owes it (us?) money.
Guy in the corner meme : They don’t know I don’t even have a steady stream of memes.
“They don’t know I daily post oc on Risa …”
This is wrong because 4chan fucking loves eating shit. We’d rush back down to the bottom and shove the table kid out of the way
Yeah, it should definitely be a circle.
I think it’s most of the shit eating is that one guy on /b/
I’ll be the one to say it: it’s way down the bottom of the chart. I see so many memes from like 1994 that it’s almost more like the completion of a shit circle than a straight shit line.
If you’re seeing them here, there was quite a bit here where posting old memes was a thing. It wasn’t just then making it to the fediverse, but nostalgia posting.
I hope we do old meme July again next year. That was so much fun.
Not enough recursion, at all.
I feel discriminated against!
Same we’re so oppressed
I didn’t vote for this!
