Seriously. I dont get it.
If it is from r/196 or c/[email protected], it is

Yeah - its just a meme sub coming over from reddit, and for whatever reason its grown quickly here so its showing up in all a lot
My theory is this: new Lemmy users aren’t comfortable yet, so some are looking for easy ways to begin engaging with the site. 196 is a low-stakes way to make a first post without the anxiety of a higher effort post.
I don’t think I mind it either, if it gets more people actively participating in some way. And if it grows too out of control, at least there’s a block option.
Its grown quickly because the community is made up of primarily/is very accepting of trans people. Im surprised theyre on lemmy.ml amd not beehaw or blahaj.
