Why is most content on Lemmy just old memes? (lemm.ee)

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

I mean, it's the low hanging fruit content. It gets done engagement, some amount of almost nostalgia, but doesn't require much work to post. It's not the end of the world, it just comes in larger volumes and takes up quite a bit of "all". Honestly blocking some of those communities would probably work well to clean up your all feed if you wanted.
