Why is my home feed on lemmy and kbin filled with posts about beans? Where did this recent obsession come from?

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.
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.
How do you block subs? Is that app specific or an account feature? I used to have a good list of blocked subs in Apollo.
I’m using Liftoff but you can do it with the website too. The option shows up on the sidebar of the sub on Lemmy and on the drop down menu on Kbin (the circle with the slash).
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.
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’m glad I’ve bean here from the start.
This is the best way to describe it and I’m 100% here for it
This is how I feel about it - excited to be part of my first inside joke on Lemmy! I have found my people!
This is the best part. Reddit had nice moments like this, back in the day. Now get off my lawn!
it’s the kbean.social special
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.
'Cause with all the new traffic, Lemmy’s alive and full of beans!
Just lucky
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 has always bean like that. You are just noticing it now.
It started here
I love meme archeologists
That’s a little like saying the story of Noah’s Ark was the original flood myth. This meme’s bean around for a while.
Oh shit, are we having our first post-migration memestorm?
Are we ready? Do we have an OutOfTheLoop community already out here somewhere?
You’re the hero the world needs
You federated wrong. You’re actually on Legume-ey.world
I’ll see myself out.
Luckily I’m on kbean.
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 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.
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.
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.
So you’ll do it after you get the job. Makes sense. Good luck!
I promise!
Where’s that fucking remind me bot when I need it
Why am I not getting beans :(
I’ve bean better
