I guess there is currently no community for Europe related memes, maybe this could be a place to post some?

    I’d put the memes rather in c/YUROP

          But that seems to be less a place for memes than c\europe.

            I’d second trolske’s thought. !yurop@lemm.ee seems like a better fit for memes, as it’s a more light-hearted community.

            If someone wanted to create an equivalent of c/eur_irl, that would be interesting too though.

            I see they’ve lately had some trends around food and architecture, but I assure you that traditionally, yurop is the meme community, where anything goes, while this one is more serious and less appreciative of memes.

    It is like that in Hungary. 80 to 90% of the prices here in Germany, but 10000€ annual income is middle class.

    I would say no, but maybe the other mods here feel different about it?

    That’s interesting, what’s the average salary in eastern Europe? Average seems to be fairly high compared to India as far as I know.

    I would prefer you ask for a specific community to be created with its own rules and moderators. Thanks! I wouldn’t mix everything in here.

    But Germans famously go to Poland and Czechia for shopping

      That hasn’t made economical sense for most products in quite a while. They still go, because taxes on gas and cigarettes are still lower, and I guess you can still get cheap haircuts.

        don’t forget the vietnamese markets that sell knock-off products. Plenty of people still buy their “branded” clothing there for a fraction of the price of an original item.

      That depends. Most of the people I know (Czechia) go to Germany almost weekly for most of the essential products. Even if some prices might be the same, the quality is on a completely different level.
