Build a community about something you love! It takes little effort. :) Then when you browse Reddit occasionally, you can steal memes. In fact, do that anyway if you end up browsing and post them here!
This is good advice. Whenever you find yourself thinking "I wish there was more ____ content" here I guarantee you're not the only one thinking that. It just takes one person to have the initiative to make the community and build it up. In my experience it's surprising how quickly others will follow.
My biggest advice is don't make a community and fill it with everything right away. If you have something you want to share maybe hold onto it. Make a list, post one every few days. These grow over time. One burst of posts fades away after a day or two, but regular, spread out posts keep it in people's feed for longer.
