I’m pretty sure it started on Lemmy.world but I wish I saved (/had a better way to search for) the starting post :(
Catposting? Is it catposting time?
Seriously I miss memes. Local, fresh memes. Like the beans thing, or the no poop challenge.No-poop guy will forever be the most upvoted post of all time in our hearts, even though he deleted his account and post and doesn’t hold the title officially anymore.
I too saw the cat
The biggest catposting incident on lemmy was when people started “void posting” in cat community on lemmy.world.
Black cat images made it to the top of /all for several days. Here’s the list of those images (lemmy search with cat community and with keyword “void”):
https://lemmy.world/search?q=void&type=Posts&listingType=All&communityId=29&page=1&sort=Old
They don’t have as many upvotes but a year-two back lemmy didn’t have as much activity as now. Still made it to /all
Edit: edited query to sort by “old” to get the oldest ones first
Edit2: sorry, got stuck looking at the voidposts and realized the biggest incident was 7 months ago, so need to scroll a bit down with that query but you should also see the voidpost memes :)
I don’t know why I didn’t do this myself but thank you!🤗
This is very appreciated, I needed this🌻🙌
Glad you found what you were looking for and happy to help! :)
I think it started in the cat community and spread elsewhere, but couldn’t come up with a better query, sorry :( enjoy the voids!
Edit: and also some people have deleted their original accounts with all of their posts, so could be that we are missing the true numbers of voidcatposting incident
no worries🤗
this still works great for some mental relief for me🤌👌💖
Thanks and I hope your day goes great!🍀
Thank you! You too recursive_recursion, hope you can get some mental relief and feel better! :)
There should be a catposting holiday on Lemmy if there isn’t already. As a cat-lover, I’d approve. Especially voidies.
Agreed! Since we have bean memes that come and go, we could also have that!
I miss the time when Fediusers posted just orbs for a good while

At least they’re not posting beans.
…I never got that. Was that a linux thing?
No, it was originally an August 2023 shitpost that was like “y’all upvote anything so here’s a can of beans”. That spurred the first wave of bean memes, and it has subsequently been trending every few months or so.

I liked the day where everyone just decided to post all their voids and just kinda took over the feed.
That was a really nice day :)
I swear I missed this somehow.
Start posting cats. Maybe someone else will join.
