Reminder about Rule #2: No politics - Lemmy.World

(edit 3/23/25: re-stickying this since we’ve gained a lot of new users in recent months) I just want to post a reminder that this is the general memes community, and we’d prefer for political memes to be directed to c/politicalmemes. Thanks, TPM

Thank you for this. I know some people won’t appreciate it but not every community needs to be a full time political outlet.

Sometimes people want a breather, myself included. If there weren’t so many other places to browse that kind of content, we wouldn’t have the rule.

The population on Lemmy is very politically aware and has strong opinions, which is good, however that also means that it’s very easy for any community to become overwhelmed by it and suddenly have little else.
