I was going to write a longer reply but everything I had to say is already said by others while I was busy.

I think it's (was?) more accurate to say Heyuri is trying to be what early 4chan tried to be: An English version of 2chan, with its own (separate) culture. I think other than Macrochan's owner visiting us, another big reason why there were so much early 4chan memes on Heyuri was that 4/t/ thread from 2020 about old 4chan stuff, where Heyuri was advertised (and where I and many others at the time found Heyuri from). We have evolved since that and I think that's for teh best

Heyuri is about creating OC. It was never just reposting old 4chan or 2chan stuff, even especially during 2020.

>I can only think of BOKU off the top of my head that even resembles this, and that even spawned an in-joke surrounding the BOKU fruit juice brand. Maybe there are more examples I'm not aware of?
there are some examples on https://wiki.heyuri.net/index.php?title=Meme
