Since memes have become an integral part of our community, I propose a way to handle them without affecting the actual Ranters.

Everyone adding a meme or a gag picture can do so under a particular tag, and the Algo can handle your meme needs by exposing you to that particular tag based on your activity with such posts.

Or you could just make the users search for memes if they wanted to see them.

This could also be done vice versa by ranters using a RANT tag, I would keep my RANT filter on so anything without that tag won't show up

To make it better you can provide a sort of suggested tags option :

|gag|¦¦¦|meme|¦¦¦Ranf|¦¦ scroll to the right for more... Kinda thing

@dfox @trogus please tell us what you think about this

    With people using !RANT as a prefix to their rants, this would be a good way to improve their experience as well.

    Also! Tag filters on the home page, select tags you would like to keep silent. This would pretty much fix any inconvenience.

    Just a suggestion again would love to see it implemented though.

    Just my 2 cents,

    Tagging

    Adding a meme tag options depends a lot on users so this solution would not be a consistent one.
    But instead of depending on the poster, maybe another option crowdsourced meme identification . In that way others can mark a post as a meme, and maybe a settings option then to choose whether to see memes or not. This could also be integrated with your suggestion as well.

    Searching

    This is also possible (i think) with previous suggestion.

    RANT tag

    Explicitly tagging a rant is kinda againt the point of this app you know.. 😊

    And it's good to see constructive suggestions like this rather than 'not another meme' rants.

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    I don't think we're going to do anything specifically for memes. Like I pointed out in another rant, of the top rants of the month, 3 out of 100 were memes. Me spending a significant amount of time on anything related to lowering that number would not be a good use of my time as we're extremely strapped for resources.

    As for the actual classification of content - that is something we might do. So there would be different rant types and you would have to select one. The types would be something like story, collab, question, comic, meme, photo, maybe some others.

    and filtering of certain types of rants would be possible with a classification system

    How about the tag "meme" which would categorize your rant as a meme! Ha, that's funny.
