Rules
- Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
- When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
- The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

The biggest catposting incident on lemmy was when people started "void posting" in cat community on lemmy.world.
Black cat images made it to the top of /all for several days. Here's the list of those images (lemmy search with cat community and with keyword "void"):
https://lemmy.world/search?q=void&type=Posts&listingType=All&communityId=29&page=1&sort=Old
They don't have as many upvotes but a year-two back lemmy didn't have as much activity as now. Still made it to /all
Edit: edited query to sort by "old" to get the oldest ones first
Edit2: sorry, got stuck looking at the voidposts and realized the biggest incident was 7 months ago, so need to scroll a bit down with that query but you should also see the voidpost memes :)
There should be a catposting holiday on Lemmy if there isn't already. As a cat-lover, I'd approve. Especially voidies.
Agreed! Since we have bean memes that come and go, we could also have that!
