What to Post and How to Rank on r/meirl
Best Topics & Content Types
The r/meirl community thrives on "selfies of the soul," meaning posts that represent an internal state or experience so accurately that someone who knows the poster would immediately recognize it as them. The core of successful content is "easily relatable analogous comedy," where the humor stems from shared, often mundane, struggles or observations. Image-based memes are a dominant and highly effective content type, frequently depicting common scenarios, feelings, or internal monologues that resonate widely.
