A massive cloud with doge on it labeled “196” descending on a city labeled “lemmy”
196 is the best thing that happened to this site
I love Mastodon but I really miss the shitpost. Now I’m on lemmy and most of my homepage is shitposts. I love you guys.
Being on the same instance as Lemmy’s 196 is both the best and worst part of this entire experience…
…and I wouldn’t have it any other way
We noticed.
Jee, fortunately they’re all English speaking people so they’re not flooding into local instances 😵 Btw, what is the 196 number referring to?
Half of us are billingual lol, but I haven’t encountered any local instance
There was a sub named 195 that got banned, don’t know more than that
didn’t get banned, mods deleted it bc they are chads
Still better than Reddit
We smash the numbers and make rhem big
Ever since I subscribed my subscription feed is basically unusable. 👍
Fun fact: That dust cloud is known as a “haboob”
Fun fact: With mods, you can romance Panam as female V.
Fun Fact: today is the first day of Arizona’s Monsoon season, the time of year you are most likely to encounter a haboob.
Sooo, what is 196? I don’t get it.
it is (was?) a post anything subreddit with a lot of queer people
It’s just a shitposting community where the rule is that you have to post something if you visit the community. Notably, the 196 community is disproportionately queer and/or trans, for some reason.
Disproportionately anti communism/fascism too.
Just an observation
Very anti fascist. Tends to be Anti capitalist and pro socialism/communism. Just really hates imperialism and totalitarian countries/regimes which puts the community at odds with any community groups that are particularly pro Russia/China
Really? I always assumed there were a lot of anti-authoritarian communists.
196 is the apartment of awesome
Share a meme when you’re here, it’s the rule
Welcome to the party, we’ve got blajah, memes, LGBTQ+, and no tankies
Sounds fun!
Guys apartment number who made sub reddit
Wasn’t it his neighbor because r/195 was the original but fell off?
I’m not sure? There’s a 195 on here as well so I’m confused.
Yeah I have no idea why someone made a c/195 but it’s not really relevant to the topic of where c/196 came from.
The less you try to understand it, the better it is.
No offense, but that sounds like some cult stuff.
Technically, we’re not organised enough to be one.
It’s not a cult. Who told you it was a cult? Whoever told you that is clearly problematic and you should cut them out of your life.
Wow, that doesn’t sound like a cult at all! Sign me up!
All you have to do is give me $1000 (it’s not a pyramid scheme either)
How do i block this subreddit
