Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

IMPORTANT
Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta
==========
Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Farewell rif! Hello Lemmy! Fuck u/Spez!
I am a RiF defector and I have to admit that Lemmy is looking pretty promising! Screw the corporate scumbags!
Any one know if the dev planing on making a Reddit isn't fun Fediverse app?
RIP BaconReader
I was active on Reddit for well over a decade. Even helped mod a couple of small communities at various points. I also loved Apollo and was an early beta tester for that app. For me, Apollo was Reddit. It was the only Reddit client I used in recent years and I miss Apollo as much as I miss Reddit itself.
I don’t see myself going back to Reddit. Lemmy has been great and has quickly become very “Reddit-like” for me, but with the vibe of what the internet was back in the early 2000s. I am enjoying the communities that are forming on her.
I’m also very fond of the concept of the Fediverse as a whole. Corporate social media has failed again and again, so I want to move away from it as much as possible.
I have an 11 year Reddit account, and recently got banned for posting about how Nazi's shouldn't be around anymore.
Reddit has been slowly turning to shit, and Spez befriending Musk is a pretty big indicator that its going to keep going that way.
Gotta admit, the Fediverse is looking pretty sweet. A surprise, to be sure! But a welcome one.
Mastodon really helped get people acquainted with the Fediverse after the whole Twitter shitshow. My sincere hope is that the Fediverse continues to take off. Corporate-owned social media is failing at every turn.
My biggest lack of understanding is still regarding access: So, if I choose to access the Fediverse via Mastodon, can I still subscribe to Kbin and Lemmy “subs”?
I love the federated nature of all of this, I just wish it was slightly easier to put into a metaphor. I’ve seen some graphic charts that try, but it’s still a bit confusing. I’m on KBin and I like it a lot, but I have no way of knowing if I’m missing a ton of content or not!
I agree it’s a bit confusing. I think app developers are really working to try and give people an easier onboarding experience. But I’m old enough to remember when people thought Twitter and Reddit were “way too complicated” for the average person. With technology, people seem to learn over time, and devs find ways to make things easier for average users.
Lemmy is only threaded content so no mastadin. Kbin however has threads posts but also microblogging. So kbin can interact with lemmy and Mastadon.
Thank you!!
Happy to help. I've been learning a lot so if there's anything that you want cleared up let me know and I can try.
Is this the dark or light side?
Fuck spez
Begun, the migration has. Apollo defector checking in.

Hello there.
General Kenobi!

Yeah... this feature gonna be a problem later I'm afraid 😂
No one ever mentions the Narwhal users:(
Because they only bacon at midnight.
That's something I'd rather not bring back please
EX RIF user reporting for duty.
Does anyone know if RIF will be migrated to supporting Lemmy?
Not really, RIF developer is confirmed making an app for Tildes ~~which federates with Lemmy and others.~~ But it's a small invite-only community. Source.
If you're on Android, there is a current early beta of Jerboa and an early beta of Memmy App (supposed to be available this week on Google. I've been using it on iOS).
Sync is confirmed coming to Lemmy as well.
