Star Wars Memes

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

IMPORTANT

Do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Special days!

Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.

Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

What stuff are you missing on Lemmy that's on Reddit? I see gaps are constant being filled.

r/ApplyingToCollege and related subreddits. It's like the whole reason I have been using reddit at all (I'm a rising senior)

I occasionally used reddit for German memes also because I'm convinced you can learn languages just by looking at memes, and I can find these on Lemmy.

I'm definitely not the average reddit migrant though so this is kind of a me problem perhaps

That will come.

There's an entire instance for German speakers feddit.de, I believe I've seen memes there.

As for college, I'd imagine such subs have the most sense on country-specific instances too.

Yes I've been enjoying feddit.de since I came here, they're good

I'm looking for the American college admissions, the largest college-related community on Lemmy is !college (idk how to denote channels) with 146 subscribers and even then it's not what i'm looking for

I guess I'll finally get in to some college in next 6 months and dump reddit finally

You know, I think what's sorely missing is a US-centric instance. There's one for Midwest US but not the whole country. Which is weird when so many things are country specific, and looots of countries have their own instances.

I would hope that the college comm is for all colleges and not just the US ones, but I rather doubt that's the case.
