I've been trying to post fairly often to this community in an attempt to keep it active, but I'm still trying to figure out what type of posts people want to see here. News? Recommendations? Discussions? Artwork? One thing I've been debating is whether people would be annoyed by seeing memes here.

I'm guessing if you found this community you already know what cyberpunk is. I don't need to make any "have you guys seen Ghost in the Shell??" posts. But does that also mean this community wants to keep things serious and only debate obscure cyberpunk media?

I can keep posting random nonsense, I'm just not sure if there's anything I should avoid posting. For example, aside from memes, does anyone want to see recommendations for cyberpunk music? Music is very subjective/personal so I don't know how many people would appreciate my taste in music.

I'm kinda leaning towards "any post is a good post" since we're still growing and I just want activity. But at the same time, there are definitely pictures from r/cyberpunk that I'm sick of seeing. Like the stupid R.U. a cyberpunk? picture from 1993.

Let me know your thoughts.

Please, no memes. It's the one thing I'm not looking for on lemmy. A lot of communities that I would be interested in, I pass over because they would, or have, flooded my subscriptions with memes instead of the real content I'm looking for.

And that's one of the reasons I made this post. I'd hate to drive people away due to too many low-effort shitpost memes. Plus, cyberpunk isn't typically a silly or jokey genre so it doesn't make much sense in the first place.

I'm sure we'll get the occasional meme here but I won't be posting any more of them. Thanks!

Yeah I mean I don't want to discourage a really clever or original one here or there, but it's one of those things that seems to take over wherever they're allowed. I know some subreddits would only allow memes on one or two days of the week, and that might be a decent choice.
