Not one specific post, but I did like bean memes going around for a while. It was right around a reddit migration so people were just coming in and having no idea wtf was going on.

Was I not supposed to feed my lemming beans?

At the time, I was looking for a way to make movie theater tasting popcorn at home. The microwave ones that claim to taste like it are terrible. I saw this, tried it and it is amazing. I make it for everyone I know and they all agree that it’s the best homemade popcorn they’ve ever had. Ghee is the way to go!

Use ghee on your homemade popcorn

Did you mean "this post is my favorite post on Lemmy" or "this comment I am writing right now is my favorite comment on Lemmy"?

When c/Risa was saying what every Star Trek character would do with their shopping cart. https://startrek.website/post/5262691

The writing style and positive fighting spirit of https://lemmy.world/comment/3597938 is great. Would read a book of this person.

I forgot to save it but someone mentioned how posting memes to social media platforms is counter to the essence of memes and I've thought a lot about it ever since. And I think I agree

[–] cactus_head@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't get, isn't memes literally translate to spread, would posting aid in that?

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The natural flow of ideas isn't from group to group anymore - it's broadcast to the world. With most memes nowadays, it's a rush to copy a template into as many topics as possible and sent to "everyone"

People don't really "find" memes anymore and share them with their friends. It's like "finding" a new TV show on cable. They went from in-jokes to content.

That was my interpretation of the commenter's half thought, anyway
