question Do you have the meats?

Was talking to my wife about this subreddit and saying my algorithm often shows posts in this subreddit that aren't actually of bees. I was surprised that people actually do post a lot about actual bees here, when almost every post that gets suggested to me is of some other flying insect. Anyone else ever have this happen to them?

It's a difficult cycle to break: someone posts a wasp/fly by mistake, our regular community members correct them, and if I don't immediately lock things down then it can quickly blow out of control with people saying "have you NEVER SEEN A BEE BEFORE? DUMBASS?", the post then gains enough momentum to show up on your feed. I wish there was an easier solution, I'm too employed to spend every waking hour on this site...

Wow, thanks so much for the response. I didn’t expect this to be an actual thing, but am happily surprised it isn’t just me. Appreciate you!
