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.

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

Thanks for asking. I am in the final stages of allowing users to have their own lemmy servers, to include a mobile app. Lemmy is only part of the offering. At large, I'm looking to bring decentralized alternatives for almost everything, with some new edge features for security and the likes too.
I'll probably make a post about it somewhere when it goes live but I'm hoping to really target folks on reddit and twitter(now X) + threads. I'd really like to show people that there are much better alternatives out there.
Why?
Things aren't really decentralized if they're run by just a few big instances. Its just changing hands of ownership.
True but you can always jump to a different instance. I think it would be better to direct users to smaller instances instead of expecting them to know that it means to run a server. Running a server requires a constant internet connection and a knowledge of good security practices.
Well thankfully my team will be handling the server administration and security. Folks will have options to access their own server at their own risk. 😉
