Don’t question it, just enjoy it. You are now part of the greater Lemmy world. In five years you can break out the ‘I have been on Lemmy since the bean incident’ and all the originals will sound off with you while the new lemmings won’t get the inside joke.
You belong now.
This is the best way to describe it and I'm 100% here for it
I’m glad I’ve bean here from the start.
Yup or if you really got in early-ish you can say I was there for the poop challenge.
It's been a wild ride so far.
I think it’s mostly, if not completely (at least on my end), coming from shitpost related communities.
I’m seeing all of my bean posts specifically come from lemmyshitposts.
Also random, but my city’s subreddit last year actually founded a bean club online and then had monthly IRL meet ups where they would bring bean cans to trade.
The Lemmy front page algorithm still isn't very good. Which results in a lot of shit post quality posts jumping to the top of the "hot" sorting.
That's my favorite part of this site. Every time I open it I'm flooded by the shitwitching hour.
I love it as well. It's great to see the insanity before I switch to my subscribed feed lol. People complaining just need to learn how to manage their feed and enjoy the beans.
I think this is similar to how reddit sorted before r/The_Donald memed its frontpage. It'll probably settle down as people are still figuring things out but for now, I just temporarily block !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world and !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone so I can view other posts.
I think it’s worth mentioning for folks new here that there is no “algorithm” as people typically think of with sites like Facebook and Twitter. There are no levers or dials being adjusted behind the scenes, just upvote counts and comments pushing content to the top.
If I wasn't wrinkly and old I would shut down lemmy with a naked pic holding a can of beans.
Do it, you coward
I am! I just applied for my first principal job and I would hate my wrinkled ass with a can of beans kept me from it.
If the school doesn't want an administrator who whole-heartedly participated in a niche meme of a nascent retaliatory federation, is that really a school you want to be a part of?
You should do that anyway😜
There was a post on Lemmy yesterday that said something like “Lemmy will upvote anything this is just a photo of a tin of beans”. .. and the shitposting started. :)
I’m sticking with ‘subscribed’ for a while
I've started blocking shit posting subs. Nothing against a good shit post but it cleans up my feed without having to resort to subscribed.
It started here
I love meme archeologists
My app isn't loading your link, but it better be "thinkin about them beans"
Don't worry. It's just lemmy establishing its lore. Soon the bean arc will be over, like the three-day-no-poop arc before it.
Competing with Reddit's lore
After 17 seasons, the Reddit lore was getting stale and uninteresting. Lemmy lore is new hotness. Season premiere only just came out.
Well at least Reddit's lore ended with a supervillain, I suppose.
It’s weird how different these feeds are. I only have posts about people asking about these beans posts. But no beans posts themselves whatsoever.
it's the kbean.social special
'Cause with all the new traffic, Lemmy's alive and full of beans!
because we're taking the internet back to 2003 and that includes omg teh random posts being funny again *holds up spork*
I'm fine with it as long as we move on quickly. The in-jokes get a chuckle out of me for a few days, and it helps build the community feeling. Now if it lingers for months, it's gonna get real stale, but that didn't happen with the no poop stuff so I'm hopeful.
You federated wrong. You're actually on Legume-ey.world
I'll see myself out.
Luckily I'm on kbean.
So the need for a c/outoftheloop begins
It exists already.
Bean related memes have been around for a bit already in other corners of the internet. We've been graced with more bean memes. Enjoy!
Oh shit, are we having our first post-migration memestorm?
Are we ready? Do we have an OutOfTheLoop community already out here somewhere?
Maybe for the people who just migrated after the API shutdown. We all already held our poop for 3 days a few weeks back.
Why am I not getting beans :(
I haven't seen a single bean-related post. Perhaps you have not been minding your "block-all-memes" mandate. I hate memes and shitposts and block communities and posters that break through at every opportunity.

Just lucky
