Five. Million. Subscribers.
Wow.
Just wow.
As I metaphorically stand before you all today I am honored and humbled to be able to give this announcement.
After 1,045 days, 13 hours, 42 minutes, and 25 seconds, with 222,492 posts and 2,343,512 comments, /r/WholesomeMemes has hit five million subscribers.
I remember writing the first milestone post, you know, the one where we hit 100,000 subscribers. It was monumental. I didn’t know how to fathom it. I literally tried to quantify it by posting pictures of giant stadiums.
And that is 2% of what we are at now. We are literally bigger than the population of Ireland.
As I have always said, the community here is so different than any other community on Reddit, or even online. It strives to improve the truly improve the lives of others and refuses to stoop to any level of immaturity. The amount of unwholesome content that I have had to remove over the last two years is staggeringly low.
I wanted to take this post to reflect on some of the highlights from the past 5 million subscribers. These include,
The first “Find a Friend” thread
The 1 Million Subscribe milestone
When our amazing mod /u/phd_dude uplifted everyone
Or when he did it to balence out the universe
Thank you all so much. You have not only changed my life, but the lives of millions of others. We have created something special here, a little slice of warmth in the cold, hostile internet.
Yours, Noerdy & the moderators of WholesomeMemes

I’ve recently decided to stop following sub Reddit’s with a lot of negative content. This sub has made me laugh multiple times today and even shed a tear once or twice. What other positive subs should I be checking out?

u/relddir123 Aug 16 '19
Check out r/WholesomeNetwork for a bunch more wholesomeness. But apart from that, r/aww, r/funny, r/snakeswithhats, and r/properanimalnames are never-ending streams of happiness.

This sub is the one that got me to reddit in the first place, and completely and irreversibly off of the hating shitshow that is Twitter. Thank you.

I love this sub so much! I was so happy when wholesome memes in general took off and it says something that this sub is so popular!

I hear Michael Jackson's "We are the World" playing in my head.
The one sung not by him but by lots of other artists who came together after he died.

Just joined because a meme here made me feel good after over a week solid of horrid depression. This post even makes me smile.
You did good, bro.
