  • Search up “meme” in community search, subscribe to all the ones that interest you. Unlike 9gag, which just feeds you a stream of posts, you need to be proactive in knowing what you want and finding it. To a lesser extent, Reddit suffers from the same problem. (Though my understanding is that Reddit is becoming increasingly curated, making Reddit increasingly like 9gag in that respect). Regardless, with this type of social media, the 2 biggest ways of finding communities are to actively look for it yourself or to find out from a someone else.

    It can also be a good idea to look at c/trendingcommunities@feddit.nl to keep updated on new communities



  • I won’t say whether it’s better or worse to ban phones during break, but I do think it is worthwhile to point out something that you might not know, given that you’re still in school.

    School is most likely the last time in your life to have actual, true friends. In college, and especially in work, your friends will almost certainly be fair weather friends, friends made out of convenience rather than anything substantial.

    I get that school sucks. I still think so. But there’s some benefits to how schools are run that you won’t recognize until you’re already out of school. Your social life will absolutely get tougher and you’ll be more isolated. So, my advice is to take the bad with the good. Have some fun with your friends in-person, because that’s really never going to happen again. Please don’t waste your school life on your phone.
