Also a demonstration of the true backbone of social media: shitposters.
Unironically. Just look how shitposting pretty much keeps Tumblr alive these days
I’m on these platforms for the shitposts.
The cool/relevant/newsworthy information is just a handy little side bonus.
PLEASE tell me where to go. !shitposting isn’t cutting it right now and I need my dopamine hits of shit
I mean lemmyshitposts on Lemmy.world is where I’m seeing the most but I’m new here and don’t really know how to write that out.
Type a ! and then the name of the community for autocomplete. I’m not sure if it’s implemented properly on all apps yet but that’s generally the way. Gives you this: [email protected]

Search for 195 and 196
Right? I’ve got the actual news for actual news, really, and the bonus of getting some here is nice but shitposting is where it’s at.
This is so true. I was subscribed to wallstreetbets since the Gamestop bullshit even though I’ve never traded in single stocks in my life. Those retards are just fucking funny.
Memes spreading like some kind of bean virus!
Beanary code travels exceptionally well via fiber networks.
This made me fucking cackle for some reason 😂
Agreed! I was mildly pleased by some of the bean memes, but this kind of clever but absurd wordplay really flicks my bean.
Can someone TL;DR the beans? I slept last night and woke up to Lemmy just being beans… wtf.
There was a post about a can of beans yesterday… literally just that. “Here’s a can of beans”… since then, the beans have taken over 😅
I think the point of this shower thought is a good one though: despite not being centralized, the beans still spread in a very reddit-like fashion…
This is great! This is the kind of wacky behavior that generates personality, community, media coverage, interest and curiosity, As ironic as it is, I think this is a milestone for the fediverse.
It’s also the beginnings of a collective conscious which means the fediverse is inching towards a critical mass of some sort.
I’m pretty sure Reddit back in its frontier days had several wacky trends take over.
Just my opinion but I’m loving it and I think it’s a good thing,
It’s a great indication when a social network gets large enough to meme. That’s why people care and are actively making original content for a change. It’s a great sign!
I can’t upvote your shit. Server too overloaded. Another great sign.
Here’s an up arrow to show my support.
⬆️
If lemmy.world is too overloaded you can’t even vote, that’s definitely a sign to create an account on a smaller instance. Best part of Lemmy is you can make an account on a different server and subscribe to all the same content
TL;DR Mr. Bean fought spez in a 1vs1 cage fight so now bean is the new hero.
Did Musk and Zuckerberg do their thing already, or is that still on?
Yes they had their coming out and adopted their first child together. It’s called X Æ A-12
Top of all time post on lemmy is now about beans.
this is the post: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/559757
I’ve seen nothing about beans what’s wrong with me
Oh sweet child… you’re missing out. The beans got me.
As soon as I posted that comment all the bean posts started appearing.
They’re listening.
It’s the algorithm!
Ideas can be shared over the internets
Thanks to its nature of being a series of tubes.
Tubes containing beans, of course
Of course. That’s the entire reason behind it. To feed the beans!
Wait so when this happens on normal sites is it an example of how effective non-federated sites are? This happened on Reddit, Digg, Something Awful…
Yes. Federated sites have a lot more going on under the hood, yet this bean craze was able to spread across all instances in the fediverse without lag or other hiccups. We were all in on the joke as if we were on a non-federated site.
As long as the beans can spread, Lemmy is safe
i dont get it, how is it effective 🤔 🤔
Have you seen the bean?
Have you Sean Bean?
Also, why isn‘t Sean pronounced the same way as bean?
Its like a linguistic bomb dropped in our pronunciation tomb, an absolute surprise from the english womb
… With a fine-toothed comb.
yea in fact i unsub from shitpost. Which can no longer be seen if i filter by subscribed, isnt that the same with reddit 🤨
Yeah if you unsubscribe to a community it definitely won’t show up in the subscribed feed anymore
I think what they mean is the idea spread across instances without lag or other issues.
ohhh could be it then, i’m still new to federation
Yeah what they mean is that even though the Fediverse is a web of instances, which operate independently, this bean craze still spread just like it would on a single site. Just emphasises the cohesiveness of the Fediverse
No beans for beehaw.org :(
Gotta go to beanhaw.org for em
Yeah, but beans are the musical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot. The more you toot, the better you feel. Beans, beans for every meal!
I’m a simple man. I see beans, I upvote.
Role that beautiful bean footage 🫘 🫘 🫘
Yeah that makes sense. The title being “how effective the protocols are” made me think it was something really above and beyond. It should have been “show how the protocols are as effective as normal sites”.
It’s an interesting experiment which also happens to be highly entertaining 😎
mean bean memeing machine
Where can i get those beans?
