on the one hand, it's annoying having so many photos of somebody's cat(s) flooding your feed
On the other, after months of election dread and with at least four more years of misery for everyone who isn't rich lying ahead of us -- sure, bring on the cat photos. Good palate cleanser.
Prefer the pic of my brothers kitten then other post about Trump.
The best Lemmy has ever been. The Internet exists for two reasons: Cat picd/videos snd porn. And we got the porn covered too.
cat JUMPSCARE
That's not a jumpscare... this is a jumpscare!
This sounds made up but I swear to god as I started reading your comment and saw his face the radio station in the waiting room started playing that same song. I’m convinced you summoned rick astley
Not a cat person but I want more void pics!!!

The biggest scandal on Lemmy.
I swear I've only seen meta posts talking about all the cats. I haven't seen a single non-meta cat post.
Update (2024-11-23T01:52Z): It turns out that, to see the cats, one must sort by "Hot" [1]. I was sorting by "All" + "Active", but, to see the cats, I must sort "All" + "Hot".
References
[...] Active prioritizes many comments iirc, but on most of these posts I see few if any comments. Using Hot though, they can dominate a feed due to being highly upvoted.
Same, and I usually just browse TopDay.
Never mind, hadn't scrolled down far enough, now they're coming through.
You might have federation issues (or blocked the right/wrong people/communities/instances).
There are loads of cats....
Honestly i just had to block /cats. It was 95% of the front page
Is it like a coordinated effort to drown out politics, whats the angle here?
After the US election, it's needed anyways. We could probably all use a short break from politics
I don't think it was coordinated.
It feels like someone shared a photo, others felt inspired to share, and it snowballed since then
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
