I'm wondering: do people just like memes or are they being forced to use them to talk about relevant topics?

Wouldn't it be better to have more serious threads and less memes that hint at political/news arguments?

As for the other part of your question why and how would people be forced to use memes?

To me lemmy frontpage much resemble reddit frontpage where most likely political and serious discussions are censored resulting in memes being more popular and the only tool people have to bring up certain arguments.

    lemmy is not reddit, people simply share what they want to share.

    This is why it's important to learn how to filer content you don't care to see. Like I told you I barely see any meme, if at all, because my home page is only showing content from communities I'm subscribed to and those are not focusing on memes.
