Hey everyone!
I may have posted a bit in the past when working on this, but today I'm excited to announce that decentmemes has been integrated into 
Head on over to our homepage if you wanna check it out:
DecentMemes
but if you wanna read about it here instead, I'll go over some of the features you can participate in.
The idea is simple.
Submit a meme template that hasn't been submitted yet.
Give it a name to make it easy for others to find, include some tags, usecases, etc
For original creators who may think their photo is memeable you can check the "I created this template", for everyone else, skip it and include a source as to where you may have found it.
Then wait for approval.
Once approved, you'll be able to find it in the "GIF" widget here on peakd (and potentially other hive front-ends as well)
Rewards
We have a soft beneficiary rewarding system in place for convenience, i.e. when you create a meme from a template, you can click "add to post" and it'll directly add it to your post or comment, this way also tracking its usage for our Leaderboard section as well as the explore section with personal dashboard.
However, you can also simply download the meme and paste it yourself if you feel like not sharing some beneficiaries with the submitter of the template or the potential owner.
For posts, the service automatically places a 3% beneficiary to the creator*
For comments/snaps, the service places a 10% to submitter and 5% to creator.
This is for 1 meme used. It can go up to 10% for posts and 30% for comments if you're creating a lot of memes.
What does this mean exactly
Creator is the original creator that the template belongs to. On the internet people create memes and share them any/everywhere but the person who owns the image never usually sees a dime from it. Many even use memes to monetize their pages such as on facebook or X.
Thus we wanted to create a pool where potential curated posts/comments using the memes send some to the original owner of the template. The rewards will sit in an account called 
Submitters are those who bothered to submit meme templates onto our service so they may earn some passive rewards through beneficiaries as well if their meme is popular and widely used by users.
While submitting memes is free for now and awaiting a manual approval process, eventually we will have to place a small fee to avoid flooding/spam so you're not just submitting any and all memes you can think of to attempt to squat them but feel like you have to invest a little bit of hive to see if it was worth it long term.
If you're the original creator, this means you skip the whole 
GIFMEMES
This idea came to mind while creating the service, I asked Claude if it's feasible/possible and he agreed and praised me on my idea (I'm sure I'm the first that's been praised by AI).
You'll be able to submit blank gifs (up to a size of 8mb) that you then can meme!
I haven't seen this anywhere so I thought I was being quite innovative with this one.
When you meme a gif, it'll automatically re-render the images with the text you've placed on top to create a GIFMEME.
Anyway, that's pretty much it. Feel free to test the meme generation out, submit some new templates you'd wanna see there and let's make Hive a bit more fun and memes with no watermark or having to spend time googling for the blank meme template you were thinking of so you can use a meme generator on another site to add the text and then submit it 5 minutes later into a conversation that's already passed!
