Meh, most memes are in lemmy.ml. Memes are kinda important to some people in social platforms.
Edit: Hmm... pitchforks are very popular in this thread... interesting...
Just curious, how old are you?
Doesn't matter, I'm not below 18 if that's what you're asking
Memes only matter if you're 14, unfortunately. Based on the number of comments and users, I'd say lemmyworld is the default.
Memes matter. You wouldn't think so, but they actually do.
Lemmy.world is the biggest and most active instance by far. But calling it a default is not accurate.
If a default emerges, that's a problem for the platform. Federation works best when there are many valid, major instances with slightly different flavors.
But I will admit that lemmy.world is carrying the activity of the platform, without their userbase we would be in trouble.
Anecdotally in my local instance feed the most memes are coming out of blahaj's 196 and World's Lemmy Shitpost
