Wrong post?
I think you're just confused about what "meming" means. It would mean create memes, not browse them
They were answering your question with a joke (noted by /j)
Can we not start that with the /j thing.
Start? Its just a hint for people who dont see the joke. Expecially helpful for people with autism and other diversities.

I'm browsing 9gag for years. I see everything and I can opt out of topics.
On lemmy I have to actively subscribe to subs. That means I miss out on topics I'm not aware of. On pixelfed I also have to actively search for a tag. Same for mastodon.
How can I have a similar experience to 9gag (I am not speaking of the content. A lot of content is not what I am looking for. I refuse to make an account on 9gag but I'm fine wirh a fediverse account.
There should be an "all" tab or feed that you can go to on your platform - Mastodon has one, not sure about Pixelfed, and Lemmy has one too, that may give you the diversity that you're looking for?
That shows you everything, not only memes, right?
It's everything your instance is aware of, yes.
I’m still relatively new here so I’m not sure either. But maybe there’s a catalogue or list servers by topic out there? The search function on the Voyager app has made it pretty quick for me to find some of my favorites.
But how do you get new content? Assume "star wars" comes out tomorrow. How would I see that there is the new tag/sub? I'd have to actively search for it which is what I don't like
Ahh you mean like a trending function? I know BlueSky has a trending function to see those new hashtags and big topics. I like using both Lemmy and BlueSky but for slightly different purposes.
Usually I’d just scroll through my already subscribed servers first here on Lemmy, and then I’d look at All sorted by Active for what big right now for all topics, after that I sort by Hot to get a glance of content that’s rising. I don’t usually search that much unless it’s a new topic I want to read more about like recipes, most recently.
There might be a trending function here, but I haven’t been around long enough to know for sure. Hopefully this helps a bit! I’m sure someone more knowledgeable can help give a more in-depth answer.
