To be fair, ‘memes’ is inherently a generic community. If you don’t like that, then you should sub to more specific comms and block ones whose scope is too generic. You can’t answer all posts to generic comms like ‘videos’ by saying “Well, there’s this more specific comm”. The threadiverse isn’t a directory structure where you should necessarily filter down to more specific subdirectories where possible.
I agree that LCD genericization is a huge problem on sites like Lemmy and Reddit. It’s seriously troubling how it eventually becomes one big mass without meticulous moderation. But the problem you’re describing is baked into the comm in this case.
