I really like Lemmy so far, but sometimes my feed is just invaded by old facebook memes.

Because the people who left reddit for lemmy are the people who left digg for reddit, mostly. So old Internet people. Hence old memes.

Edit: my phone decided digg should be high. IDK.

I was on reddit before I was on digg, but yeah. My migration was reddit > digg > reddit > lemmy

I'll take some recycled old memes over the groupthink spam reddit has become. If I never see another buy GME apes strong post again I'll die happy.
