I've been having some more free time recently, and I've been developing a replacement for Slowmeme. Yay, finally, after all these years!

I'm blogging about the journey, so if you're interested about the inner workings of the new Slowmeme, you can read about it here.

I also wrote about the reasons why Slowmeme went defunct few years back, and how the old Slowmeme was built. Some bits are a bit technical, but I guess the topic kinda is.

As dicussed in the post linked above, I want to change the format of the site quite a bit. Instead of having a simple /r/AdviceAnimals'esque caption format, Slowmeme will also support more complex meme formats, like comics etc.

The input that the meme generation is based on will also change, as most of y'all used to put a lot of random nonsense into the "title" of the memes. I take this as a hint that you guys just want the AI-generated memes, and don't necessarily want to provide meaningful input to the process. To make this a bit easier and more topical, I've been trying to integrate e.g. news feeds or Reddit posts to the process, to automatically generate memes about recent events.

If there are any suggestions, they're more than welcome now. I want to make the site good and fancy and new, not resurrect the old site as-is. So, if there were certain aspects about the old Slowmeme that you absolutely loved, please share them now. I want to make something cool, but I don't want to kill all the nostalgic feelings people might still have towards the site.

So please, comment! All feedback and comments and memories of old meme times are more than welcome.

Also, if you want early access to the site before it goes live, comment below. I'll DM you the URL when there's something functional to actually show you, and hopefully you can give some feedback. :)

Sincerely,

/u/waltteri, maker of Slowmeme

I just discovered this thing but my meme’s taking forever to generate!

The newest meme was generated on 28 feb 2018. That was #8969. I created #10275.

When you are almost late to work and your rushing and you are nearly there and you can just make it but there are slow people in front of you and there is no way to get past them.
