Star Wars Memes

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

==========

IMPORTANT

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

==========

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Image Transcription: Meme


['Cast it into the fire' - a three panel meme featuring Isildur and Elrond from the Lord of the Rings. In the first panel, Isildur's hand is shown holding the ring between his fingers. In the second, Elrond speaks to him with an expression of distress and desperation, and the third panel shows Isildur responding with a smirk. The words "!starwarsmemes" (star wars memes) has been placed over Elrond's forehead in the second panel, and the words "r/lotrmemes" (lord of the rings memes) is written above Isildur's forehead in the third panel. The large text "reddit" in the first panel is placed on top of the ring itself]

It means a lot to see our transcription brethren out here in the fediverse. o7

[–] BornVolcano@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm honoured to continue to serve o7

Accessibility should be a requirement, not a luxury

Hello there! You are strong and wise.

[–] saxysammyp@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I was disappointed to see how much hate the mods were getting for taking a stand. Most of it was from people posting. The comment sections were mostly rebuking OP. Most people were saying things like “yeah, lord of the rings is TOTALY about bending the knee to fa face less power /s”.

Star Wars Memes: "No, thank you! We don't want any more visitors, well-wishers, or distant relations!"
Lord of the Memes: (!lotrmemes@midwest.social) "And what about very old friends?"
Star Wars Memes: (clicks link) "Gandalf?"

YTMND.... now there's a name I've not heard in a long, long time.

[–] DrWorm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I kinda miss it...

[–] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I thought I saw a lotr or other meme community here?

Well, it's not like that's stopping anyone from spinning up one here.

This community has no affiliation with any of the Reddit subs either. In fact I had pinged mods of all four star wars meme Reddit subs about moving to Lemmy, and neither has even responded.

Maybe the admins went all Trade Federation and disrupted all communications.

[–] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That was even before the blockade.

Glad to see it growing. Made it a week before the blackout to have it ready and now the ball is rolling and it's getting a bunch of users

[–] Casmael@geddit.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmm seems to be an empty community for me?

[–] DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think it depends on when your Lemmy server/instance first discovered it. In other words, I don't believe a Lemmy server will show posts from a community on another server from before someone searched for "!community@other-server.com" from your Lemmy instance for the first time.
I think. I'm no Lemmy expert.

Try https://midwest.social/c/lotrmemes and you should see content.

Great meme kid, now don’t get cocky

[–] JackOfAllTraits@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Damn. Maybe we should get the high ground fist...

[–] Chuggowitz@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

What if we take the high grond instead?

[–] CreeperODeath@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

shakes fist at ground

[–] Casmael@geddit.social 1 points 1 year ago

Light the beacons!

[–] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

It really sucks cause that was one of my favorite meme subs.

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I feel the same way about r/mylittlepony.

[–] sorenant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I feel the same way about r/noncredibledefense and r/skyrimmods.

[–] FaceDeer@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Aw, them too?

Though it's been kind of peculiar seeing people discussing whether a subreddit is "officially" moving to some place other than Reddit, because aside from a few subreddits where there's clear corporate backing there's nothing "official" about any of them in the first place. The only people who claim to be making some kind of "official" decision are a couple of mods, and ironically Reddit's fundamental position in this whole mess is that mods are easily replaceable.

I would dispute that "easily" part, especially for good mods, but it's not like the creation of each domain-specific subreddit was some unique event that can never be replicated elsewhere. There are bronies here in the Fediverse. There's !mylittlepony@kbin.social, !mylittlepony@lemmy.ml, !mlp@pawb.social, probably others I haven't bumped into yet. They're all small but they could grow.
