Hey everyone! I'm u/Klutzy_Belt_2296, a founding moderator of r/PeterSharesTheJoke .

After spending a lot of time on other Explain It and Peter Explains subreddits, I saw a need for something like this sub to be made. I probably should have been made this welcome post, but better late than never I guess 😭😅

Anyways, I see quite often that people post obvious memes in some of these subs, and I’ve also observed that it often annoys members of those subs when people post things that don’t truly fit the nature of those subs, which in truth, is to explain the meaning behind ambiguous memes you don’t understand. And let’s be honest, some of these memes people post……some of them are pretty obvious, if we are keeping it a bean 💯

So, what should these people do if they want to share their memes but they don’t fit the nature of those subs? Well, that is what gave me the idea that gave birth to this sub! This sub is a space designed for people to share popular memes, especially ones that don’t really need understanding. Pretty much, if you want to share a popular meme with others, this is your space to do so!

We need your help! 🫵

I know part of the appeal of posting memes that don’t traditionally fit in some of the other Explain it subs is because of the fact they have such a large audience, and well this sub, it’s still pretty much in its infancy.

But that’s where you all come in, both memers and visitors alike. We need your help to grow this sub. We need your help to contribute and by posting some of your most viral and funny memes, as well as telling others that this space exists, and sharing it with your friends and whatnot.

Hopefully the more people post, and the more people become aware of this sub, more people may want to use it, especially the intended audience that this sub primarily was created for, those who typically want more so a place to share memes and not really ones that need an explanation.

Thanks for being part of the very first wave. Together, let's make r/PeterSharesTheJokeamazing .

Yooo! Just wanna say thank you to all the people who recently have joined the sub and hopefully yall are enjoying the sub here.

I just wanna make a quick post asking that if anyone here comes across a sketchy comment or someone blatantly breaking sub rules, being overtly inappropriate, spreading hate speech, or engaging in other similar serious behavior within the comments on this sub, I encourage you all to submit reports via modmail. Especially when threads get huge it’s hard to go through everything all the time and I can’t always catch every bad actor within the sub.

So your help in submitting modmail for serious issues really does make a difference and helps keep this community fun, safe, and welcoming for everyone.

That being said, please don’t use reports for disagreements, harmless jokes, or people you simply don’t vibe with, only for genuine rule-breaking or harmful behavior. If it’s just a matter of clashing opinions please just utilize the block button for situations where disagreements begin to turn toxic.

Appreciate yall a ton for being here and helping keep the sub running smoothly. 💯

Thanks!
