Why are most memes on Lemmy from 5-10 years ago?

I'm glad people are active, but why are the most upvoted memes things from years ago? Bots? Users desperate for content?

Reddit used to be good, we just reliving the good old day of Reddit.

Serious answer: why not? There's no expiring date on meme. If it convey the funny then there's nothing wrong with using old meme. Renewing meme for renewing sake is boring.

Fair, but trollface and ffffffuuuuu are expired however.

I could use some trollface every now and then.

Trollface is quite a defining meme tbh, it's a symbol for trolling. The rest however....
