And just like Reddit you're complaining about it for absolutely no reason. How about we try to be a bit more welcoming and a bit less gatekeepery.

That's kind of an absurd position when the explicit purpose of segmented communities is to gatekeep content.

I realize my attitude is negative, but r/programmerhumor was not my crowd and it looks like neither is this community. There is no place where I can find memes about a large part of my life and I'm frustrated.

"Missing semicolon", "light IDE is for psychopaths", "JS sucks", "AI is just if-statements", I just can't relate to those jokes and after the 100th repost I still don't think they're funny.

Your contribution appears to be solely whinging. If you want a certain type of content how about you post some and see if it catches on?

I'm curious, what would you prefer? Reposts suck, but dunking on the languages everyone agrees are bad and complaining about debugging is the only version of programmer humour I'm familiar with.

I found this blog article with some xkcd comics that I find hilarious, if that helps

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago

XKCD is indeed awesome.

These are quite funny. Thank you

my crowd

how about https://programming.dev/c/programmer_humor ? this instance tends to attract more actual programmers

preemptive note: I'm not making a suggestion, I'm asking what you think.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !programmer_humor@programming.dev

Sounds like a win for this community.
