Collecting memes in your camera roll probably serves the same instinct that stamp collecting used to
that said if any FOSS devs want to make an app for categorizing and tagging memes outside the camera roll so i can use it for its intended purpose i will volunteer a (consensual) kiss on the forehead
Growing up, we always had a rotating selection of newspaper cartoons on the fridge. I think it’s the same.
The only one I remember was a three cell cartoon, each frame identical, with a goldfish in a bowl just looking out. In the third frame he has a thought bubble: “I keep thinking it’s Tuesday.”

Wow! That’s it!
So does collecting anything. A hobby's a hobby.
not all collections are colorful little squares tho
My Cheez-Its collection is though
More people are likely to WANT to see your memes than your stamp collection
Been wanting this too! Only save S-tier memes but sometimes wanna find them again
It's still pretty early in development, but TagStudio is FOSS and may be worth keeping an eye on
Well there's Hydrus for that, needs to run on Windows/Linux/macOS though, having Hydrus Web as secondary desktop & primary mobile app.
Running it standalone from your phone is probably a bother, since you'd need to run it in X11 from Termux, but it's doable
can it do OCR/text search? that’s one of my favorite things about iOS’s camera roll
In theory, yes. You'd need to know some python scripting though and interact with Hydrus via it's API
i am literally not smart enough to do this but thank you for your help 😭🩷
Literally last week I spent my time syncthinging my reaction image folder on my phone and PC and renaming all the files to be searchable. So yeah, maybe.
syncthing is goated ! but boo on the manually renaming part that’s so 2014 and i need need need a software that can be slayer than that
People save memes? Today I learned...
I save them in my camera roll so that I can share them with people. I then just never delete them and they get lost. It is nice every once in a while to spot that random meme from 5 years ago and have a small chuckle.
once you start it becomes a really fun habit lol
Honestly I thought memes had kinda run their course, i didn't know there were new ones even, lol.
Hey if it's fun, that's great. Kinda was looking for an idea for an app. This might be an interesting one. What features would make a great one?
dude essentially a camera roll with tagging, folders, ocr/text search and duplicate recognition would go crazy.
bonus points if it can use some image recognition to do auto sorting by format or macro.
I loved ScreenshotGo from firefox. Unfortunately it was discontinued. I still have the old version and while i do use it, I would love to have the ability to add folders which are downloaded from voyager or jerboa too to index memes
It basically detects text and index it, making it searchable by text. The (archived) git repo is https://github.com/mozilla-tw/ScreenshotGo
Also last release was 2018, 6 years old
big sad
I use MemeScanner and it's great, but unfortunately not Open Source:

i have trauma from this type of app becoming obsolete or paywalled like 5 months into using it 😭
So any day now, we can expect a custom porn video where the stars make fun of a meme collector’s folders and then delete them.
I have a teensy suspicion that this is not exactly what the doctor said.
