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

That would be very nice, though how it would be implemented would be difficult. One way it could potentially be done is the new server has to request control from the old one, that would be fairly secure but would introduce the problem of "What if the old one no longer exists?" It could be that there's a key that you send with your activity to verify it's you which can be moved to a new instance, but then you run into the issue of how to stop a malicious instance admin from getting your info. You could have a centralized authentication service, though many dislike that because it goes against federation to some extent. I know on Mastadon you can transition your followers, I don't know how it works but it's possible they figured out a good solution.
I transitioned between Mastodon servers. I needed access to both accounts to transition to the new account.
