A massive cloud with doge on it labeled “196” descending on a city labeled “lemmy”
196 is the best thing that happened to this site
I love Mastodon but I really miss the shitpost. Now I’m on lemmy and most of my homepage is shitposts. I love you guys.
We knew the rule.
We brought the rule.
We came to rule.
We noticed.
Jee, fortunately they’re all English speaking people so they’re not flooding into local instances 😵 Btw, what is the 196 number referring to?
There was a sub named 195 that got banned, don’t know more than that
didn’t get banned, mods deleted it bc they are chads
Sooo, what is 196? I don’t get it.
It’s just a shitposting community where the rule is that you have to post something if you visit the community. Notably, the 196 community is disproportionately queer and/or trans, for some reason.
Disproportionately anti communism/fascism too.
Just an observation
Very anti fascist. Tends to be Anti capitalist and pro socialism/communism. Just really hates imperialism and totalitarian countries/regimes which puts the community at odds with any community groups that are particularly pro Russia/China
ya thats the vibe ive always gotten too
Really? I always assumed there were a lot of anti-authoritarian communists.
some people think that being anti-authoritarian implies being anti-communist
and by some people I mean liberals and tankies
196 is the apartment of awesome
Share a meme when you’re here, it’s the rule
Welcome to the party, we’ve got blajah, memes, LGBTQ+, and no tankies
deleted by creator
You need to either find one or make one!
If memory serves the OG rules said you just have to make a post
Could be a cool pic, could be a meme, could be a shower thought, hell it could even be a text post.
Let the creativity flow, share and share alike
Who said anything about memes? It says post. So post
Sounds fun!
The less you try to understand it, the better it is.
No offense, but that sounds like some cult stuff.
It’s not a cult. Who told you it was a cult? Whoever told you that is clearly problematic and you should cut them out of your life.
Wow, that doesn’t sound like a cult at all! Sign me up!
All you have to do is give me $1000 (it’s not a pyramid scheme either)
Definitely, just need to email this Nigerian prince back real quick

The rule is, when you view the 196 sub, you must post before leaving. Anything.
it is (was?) a post anything subreddit with a lot of queer people
Guys apartment number who made sub reddit
Wasn’t it his neighbor because r/195 was the original but fell off?
I’m not sure? There’s a 195 on here as well so I’m confused.
Yeah I have no idea why someone made a c/195 but it’s not really relevant to the topic of where c/196 came from.
They were originally c/196 and renamed after this 196 became wildly more popular to avoid confusion.
The dog is coming the dog is coming the dog is coming
dense dog advisory
Fun fact: That dust cloud is known as a “haboob”

Fun Fact: today is the first day of Arizona’s Monsoon season, the time of year you are most likely to encounter a haboob.
Still better than Reddit
196 sweep
It is true, and it is good.
My fav sub 🙏
We smash the numbers and make rhem big
I’m too afraid to ask what the rule is.
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out. Rule: You must post before you leave with proper flair without using slurs, being a bigot, posting porn, or having an NFT avatar. [NFTs are banned.] If any mods from reddit are here MSG me I will help give this to you. Just need proof it is the same people
Thank god the NFT avatars are no more. If any Fediverse instance tries to support NFTs, we must collectively agree to nuke them from orbit (or at least block the server from the rest of us).
Being on the same instance as Lemmy’s 196 is both the best and worst part of this entire experience…
…and I wouldn’t have it any other way
How do i block this subreddit
On desktop: to the right of the post. “Block community”
