A massive cloud with doge on it labeled "196" descending on a city labeled "lemmy"
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

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
Ever since I subscribed my subscription feed is basically unusable. 👍
Sooo, what is 196? I don't get it.
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 rule is, when you view the 196 sub, you must post before leaving. Anything.
The less you try to understand it, the better it is.
No offense, but that sounds like some cult stuff.
Technically, we're not organised enough to be one.
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
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
I've landed on r/196 through r/all so often, wondering wtf this sub was about. I've broken the rule so often without knowing. What do I do now? I have no meme to post.
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!
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
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
it is (was?) a post anything subreddit with a lot of queer people
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
196 is the best thing that happened to this site
Fun fact: That dust cloud is known as a "haboob"
Fun fact: With mods, you can romance Panam as female V.
Fun Fact: today is the first day of Arizona's Monsoon season, the time of year you are most likely to encounter a haboob.
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.
Still better than Reddit
My fav sub 🙏
How do i block this subreddit
