I saw this comment on c/whitepeopletwitter, and it made me wonder if Reddit was like Lemmy in its early days as well? A lot of the communities here are more or less just Reddit but with (sometimes) different rules and mod teams. Most of the memes here are just yoinked off of Reddit (which to be fair, really is just how the internet works)

But yeah, in Reddit’s early days, were the communities there basically just clones of whatever form of communities Digg/other popular sites had at the time? Was most of the content just reposts of stuff from other sites?

    Time to make a new original community on Lemmy, just for sock puppets.

    Purpose: Art of sock puppets reenacting real life events. The art can be doodles on napkins, AI art, or real physical sock puppets.

    I’d like to start off the community with this image
