Why is my home feed on lemmy and kbin filled with posts about beans? Where did this recent obsession come from?
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.
This is the best part. Reddit had nice moments like this, back in the day. Now get off my lawn!
This is how I feel about it - excited to be part of my first inside joke on Lemmy! I have found my people!
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.
When life gives you beans, you make toots.
toots? like in the mastodon?
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 [email protected] and [email protected] so I can view other posts.
Is it that it’s not very good, or actually working as an indicator of what’s truly popular and currently generating engagement, and the people just love shitposts? 🤔
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?
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
You should do that anyway😜
Shitposts and Rule are dominating right now
That’s the SFW internet for you…
Could someone explain the whole Rule thing for me? I am old.
Kinda irritating.
Unless it’s coffee beans. Bring those cans on in. By the pallet.
Make a meme. “How about our beans with caffeine?”
Go cards
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).
It has always bean like that. You are just noticing it now.
I feel like you’re gas lighting me, I can’t be certain.
Just the right amount of gas, don’t want to over do it
I love meme archeologists
My app isn’t loading your link, but it better be “thinkin about them beans”
Updated the link. Working now?
Wefwef is opening your link as an external webpage instead of redirecting me to the post. That’s sad since one of the first response is about porotos con riendas, that’s a delicious dish.
Unfortunately I’m still a Lemmy noob so I’m not familiar with link formatting to remain in-instance. Hopefully that’s something that gets automated under the hood in the coming weeks!
No worries, noob here too, it worked eventually. I’m using a 3rd party app called Connect, and it doesn’t handle links well yet lol.
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.
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.

The poop post still bubbles up. It’s got some cling-ons.
it’s the kbean.social special
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.
'Cause with all the new traffic, Lemmy’s alive and full of beans!
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.
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.
Ahhh, the no-poop guy, back when I was still lurking trying to figure it all out.
I still wonder why he had to hold it… my guess is spending time with a crush
You’re the hero the world needs
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!
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.
Why am I not getting beans :(
