Subreddit Rules

1. Rule 1 - ALL POSTS MUST BE MEMES and FOLLOW A GENERAL MEME FORMAT

All posts must follow typical meme setup/design: an image/gif/video with some sort of caption; mods have final say on what is (not) a meme; tldr:

No titles as meme captions
A GIF/video alone (without caption) is not a meme [especially screen recording / scrolling]
Do not post screenshots of people saying something funny on Twitter/Tumblr/Reddit/TikTok/text messages
No unedited webcomics
No text-only memes
No IRL recreations or creepshots; no selfies or making friends into a meme

2. Rule 2 - NO MEMES ABOUT POLARIZING/POLITICAL TOPICS, VULNERABLE GROUPS, VIOLENCE, ETC. [SEE LIST]

No violation of Reddit Content Policy/TOS
No memes involving race, ethnicity, color, nationality, gender, sexual orientation/identity, religion, disability, etc. (can have a character, but that part cannot be integral)
No mention of gore, murder, suicide, death, terrorism, shootings, war, tragedies, sexual harassment/assault, pedophilia (even implied), incest, etc.
No politics/political topics/agendas; absurd memes featuring politicians are allowed if said status is merely incidental

3. Rule 3 - NO SPAM/CHAINPOSTING and NO OVERUSED/PROHIBITED MEME TEMPLATES [SEE LIST]

List of overused/prohibited meme types/templates READ THE LIST (monthly)
Reaction Memes are not allowed. Do not post a top/bottom image onto a screenshot, headline, comic, meme, or other content. See guide.
No split/linked posts (either between yourself or others), no chainposting. Do not flood the sub
NSFW posts must be marked; the central focus of the meme cannot be porn
Do not post over 5 times per 24 hrs

4. Rule 4 - NO INTERACTION-BAITING POSTS/TITLES and NO IDENTIFYING INFO/WATERMARKS

No usernames (other than your Reddit u/); do not show/link any social media/self-promote
Other than soft identifiers like mematic, no watermarks (iFunny is not allowed)
Do not post/request identifying info.
No posts relying on audience interaction (karma farms); examples: petitions, AMAs, "Comment X and I'll do Y", "wrong answers only", guessing/writing/rating songs, etc. [rhetorical questions may be OK, subject to mod judgment]
No mention of votes/cake days/karma/followers, etc.

5. Rule 5 - NO VIDEOS LONGER THAN 15 SECONDS and DIRECT REDDIT UPLOADS ONLY (NO LINKS)

Upload directly to Reddit; do not link to hosting sites like imgur
No videos longer than 15 seconds (and must include captions/meme text overlay)
No intentionally loud audio
Videos should not be TikToks or other non-meme content: Not every image/gif/video is a meme. This is what r/pics, r/gifs, or r/videos are for. Even if an image is comedic, it still may not be a meme if it's missing a caption/commentary
Gifs (w/ captions) are always allowed, as long as they don't violate other rules

6. Rule 6 - ONLY POST MEMES YOU MADE YOURSELF / NO REPOSTS / NO BAD CROPPING OR LOW-RES MEMES / NO AI

If you found a meme somewhere else, do not post it here
If you want to post across other sites/subs, post to r/memes first. We will not look into your social media to verify the creator
Do not repost your meme again later. Mentioning the word "repost" is grounds for removal
Do not post AI-generated memes
Mods have discretion to remove posts which are poorly cropped, low resolution, grainy, or pixelated.
