    Can anyone tell me what the “196” community is? If I sort my feed by All, it gives me a ton of memes from there but I can’t tell what it is.

      It began on reddit as the general sub for the college dorm #196 at some university, one thing lead to another, and now it’s a meme sub which exists everywhere.

      The joke is “you have to post something when you visit the subreddit” so the content there is just all over the place, but there are a bunch of in-jokes that spawned (was they always do in situations like that).
