to be fair there isn't that much about the fedi in general that you can meme about. the closes you can get are in jokes but:
a) lemmy doesnt have them because this place is uncreative and only serves as a dumping ground from memes from other places when they aren't bickering about politics
b) in jokes of different parts of fedi do not translate well just because they share a protocol, given the extremely little overlap on people here
c) they're not really "fediverse memes" just because they happened in the fediverse, are they
Oh you could absolutely meme about the protocol itself and the way it is implemented. lots of potential there.
most people on lemmy do not understand the tradeoffs both activitypub and it's implementors do, as evidenced by this exact community we're in. these memes wouldn't gain any traction even if they were funny to their intended audience (which i have doubts on if it's possible to do but idk i'm not creative enough)
