r/memes

Can you post your project here?

Posts must be original memes adhering to a general meme format (image/gif/video with caption). Avoid political or sensitive topics, spam, watermarks, and identifying information. All content must be uploaded directly to Reddit.

Before you post: Rule 4 explicitly states 'do not show/link any social media/self-promote' and prohibits watermarks from sites like iFunny. Rule 6 also states that if you found a meme elsewhere, do not post it, and if you want to post across other sites/subs, post to r/memes first, implying original content creation for the sub.

The rules, in their words

1. Rule 1 - ALL POSTS MUST BE MEMES and FOLLOW A GENERAL MEME FORMAT: All posts must follow typical meme setup/design: an image/gif/video with some sort of caption; mods have final say on what is (not) a meme; tldr: - No titles as meme captions - A GIF/video alone (without caption) is not a meme [especially screen recording / scrolling] - Do not post screenshots of people saying something funny on Twitter/Tumblr/Reddit/TikTok/text messages - No unedited webcomics - No text-only memes - No IRL recreations or creepshots; no selfies or making friends into a meme
2. Rule 2 - NO MEMES ABOUT POLARIZING/POLITICAL TOPICS, VULNERABLE GROUPS, VIOLENCE, ETC. [SEE LIST]: - No violation of Reddit Content Policy/TOS - No memes involving race, ethnicity, color, nationality, gender, sexual orientation/identity, religion, disability, etc. (can have a character, but that part cannot be integral) - No mention of gore, murder, suicide, death, terrorism, shootings, war, tragedies, sexual harassment/assault, pedophilia (even implied), incest, etc. - No politics/political topics/agendas; absurd memes featuring politicians are allowed if said status is merely incidental
3. Rule 3 - NO SPAM/CHAINPOSTING and NO OVERUSED/PROHIBITED MEME TEMPLATES [SEE LIST]: - [List of overused/prohibited meme types/templates](https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/wiki/overused) READ THE LIST (monthly) - Reaction Memes are not allowed. Do not post a top/bottom image onto a screenshot, headline, comic, meme, or other content. [See guide.](https://imgur.com/a/CRwobws) - No split/linked posts (either between yourself or others), no chainposting. Do not flood the sub - NSFW posts must be marked; the central focus of the meme cannot be porn - Do not post over 5 times per 24 hrs
4. Rule 4 - NO INTERACTION-BAITING POSTS/TITLES and NO IDENTIFYING INFO/WATERMARKS: - No usernames (other than your Reddit u/); do not show/link any social media/self-promote - Other than soft identifiers like mematic, no watermarks (iFunny is not allowed) - Do not post/request identifying info. - No posts relying on audience interaction (karma farms); examples: petitions, AMAs, "Comment X and I'll do Y", "wrong answers only", guessing/writing/rating songs, etc. [rhetorical questions may be OK, subject to mod judgment] - No mention of votes/cake days/karma/followers, etc.
5. Rule 5 - NO VIDEOS LONGER THAN 15 SECONDS and DIRECT REDDIT UPLOADS ONLY (NO LINKS): - Upload directly to Reddit; do not link to hosting sites like imgur - No videos longer than 15 seconds (and must include captions/meme text overlay) - No intentionally loud audio - Videos should not be TikToks or other non-meme content: Not every image/gif/video is a meme. This is what r/pics, r/gifs, or r/videos are for. Even if an image is comedic, it still may not be a meme if it's missing a caption/commentary - Gifs (w/ captions) are always allowed, as long as they don't violate other rules
6. Rule 6 - ONLY POST MEMES YOU ACTUALLY MADE YOURSELF/NO REPOSTS and NO BAD CROPPING/LOW-RES MEMES: - If you found a meme somewhere else, do not post it here - If you want to post across other sites/subs, post to r/memes first. We will not look into your Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, etc. to verify the creator - Do not repost your same meme again later. Even mentioning the word "repost" is grounds for removal - Mods have discretion to remove posts which are poorly cropped (inc. aspect ratio), low resolution, grainy, artifacted, or pixelated. The mod team doesn't have to prove it is a repost
