Collecting memes in your camera roll probably serves the same instinct that stamp collecting used to

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.”

So does collecting anything. A hobby's a hobby.

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

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.

if any FOSS devs want to make an app for categorizing and tagging memes outside the camera roll

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

People save memes? Today I learned...

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

I use MemeScanner and it's great, but unfortunately not Open Source:

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.
