I'm glad people are active, but why are the most upvoted memes things from years ago? Bots? Users desperate for content?

It's probably due to the selecting 'Most Popular' meaning that it only finds the most upvoted thing on the instance. Instances as well as the Fediverse have grown so much adding more and more content over time but that does not always mean that everyone sees that one meme anymore making more modern posts have less traction. (At least from what I can think)
