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.

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.

Someone's already done something a bit like that (for one US show) on Codeberg:

As far as I can tell, that's a single user project. Anyone wanting to contribute would have to sign up to Codeberg (which is not an insignificant step; I tried a few weeks ago and somehow the process kept failing) and be approved by the project owner.

What about a fediverse hack until something official is setup? Like a hashtag (#euromeme) on Pixelfed / Mastodon or a community on Lemmy?
