There are so many meme templates from USAian media, but there are lots of European movies, series, and art and it’s not being used. The closest I found was https://framamemes.org/ but it’s just USAian memes redrawn.

Would definitely love a repository of european memes, neatly catalogued with country of origin, where the meme is from (which series/movie/whichever source), etc.
Which service could we use for it? Would codeberg be useful? Although I’m not sure it’s fair to store media files there.
I just checked and as far as I can tell, it’s for code not for files. Maybe the internet archive? Or something similar that is hosted in Europe?
I thought of codeberg because we can just put files into a folder and send it to codeberg. Others can then suggest changes and they can be approved by those who have the rights to add those changes. I can’t think of another website that allows people to contribute to a project together with some human review and for that to be searchable :(
Why do you suggest the internet archive? Which feature do you believe makes it appropriate for this?
My thinking was this: It makes memes searchable, the interface is pleasant to look at (instead of just a bunch of files in the folder), the memes are all visible at once (instead of having to open a single file to view).
You’re raising good points though! I think it’s also possible to protect a collection against bad faith actors, but I’m not sure.
