Why is my home feed nothing but beans? - Lemmy.world

Why is my home feed on lemmy and kbin filled with posts about beans? Where did this recent obsession come from?

I think it’s mostly, if not completely (at least on my end), coming from shitpost related communities.

I’m seeing all of my bean posts specifically come from lemmyshitposts.

Also random, but my city’s subreddit last year actually founded a bean club online and then had monthly IRL meet ups where they would bring bean cans to trade.

The Lemmy front page algorithm still isn’t very good. Which results in a lot of shit post quality posts jumping to the top of the “hot” sorting.
That's my favorite part of this site. Every time I open it I'm flooded by the shitwitching hour.
I love it as well. It's great to see the insanity before I switch to my subscribed feed lol. People complaining just need to learn how to manage their feed and enjoy the beans.
I think this is similar to how reddit sorted before r/The_Donald memed its frontpage. It’ll probably settle down as people are still figuring things out but for now, I just temporarily block [email protected] and [email protected] so I can view other posts.

Kinda irritating.

Unless it's coffee beans. Bring those cans on in. By the pallet.

Shitposts and Rule are dominating right now
That’s the SFW internet for you

Could someone explain the whole Rule thing for me? I am old.
Bean related memes have been around for a bit already in other corners of the internet. We’ve been graced with more bean memes. Enjoy!
I'm guessing it's a sign of the Reddit migration. r/beansinthings is 174k strong but you'll note the largest influx of subscribers was June 2019 to Feb 2020: https://social-rise.com/subreddit-analysis/Beansinthings

Yup or if you really got in early-ish you can say I was there for the poop challenge.

It’s been a wild ride so far.

This is how I feel about it - excited to be part of my first inside joke on Lemmy! I have found my people!
Seriously. I went and played Diablo for like 2 hours and I come back and it's beans as far as the eye can see
The Universe is telling you to Eat More Beans!
Coming to you live from Kbean!
Why did you subscribe to so much bean-related content? When one finger is pointing at someone else, you've got three more pointing right back at yourself.

Oh shit, are we having our first post-migration memestorm?

Are we ready? Do we have an OutOfTheLoop community already out here somewhere?

Maybe for the people who just migrated after the API shutdown. We all already held our poop for 3 days a few weeks back.

You federated wrong. You’re actually on Legume-ey.world

I’ll see myself out.

Luckily I'm on kbean.
Maybe m/EatCheapAndHealthy is leaking.
I heard that lemmy will upvote anything. This is literally just a can of fucking beans - sh.itjust.works

People should be up voting this as it is the answer and not a bunch of bean jokes.. But the jokes are getting the up votes.. You do realize this is nostupidquestion not "be an unhelpful ass" community
It’s weird how different these feeds are. I only have posts about people asking about these beans posts. But no beans posts themselves whatsoever.
Why am I not getting beans :(

There was a post on Lemmy yesterday that said something like “Lemmy will upvote anything this is just a photo of a tin of beans”. .. and the shitposting started. :)

I’m sticking with ‘subscribed’ for a while
