I’d say that the vast majority of content shared on Lemmy originates from elsewhere, and rarely ever from the source. Generally, it tends to follow a path like Facebook -> Reddit -> Instagram -> Reddit -> Facebook then finally to Lemmy all while being compressed and shared by screenshots along the way.

The best part, though, is that you don’t have to be here and you’re subjecting yourself to lazy, dull content!
You also don’t want the internet to think to hard, or you end up with the most cursed stuff imaginable
