r/ | '''Dogelore''' is a subreddit dedicated exclusively to memes about Doge and related dog characters within the so-called "Doge lore" such as Walter, Perro, Cheems, Swole Doge and others. Created by /r/okbuddyretard founder Kirbizia in 2018, the subreddit accumulated over 400,000 subscribers in it's 5 years of existance and is one of the biggest hubs of Doge memes on the internet. It's semi-official discord server is also one of the biggest Irony Servers within the hemisphere, reaching a staggering 64,000 thousand members during it's "golden age" and peak. | ||
Due to a recent huge boom in the server's userbase during the quarantine period of the server's existence, it is now one of the largest irony servers on the platform, reaching well over 64,000 thousand members by August 2022. However, Dogelore's growth has stagnated in recent times, due in part to the user [[Julie Crisis|Julie]] using alt accounts to send child pornography into the server and in users' DMs, as well as the discord losing its popular vanities, these being "cum" and "sus". These reasons have decreased the member count from around 65,000 to under 52,000. Despite this, the almost four year old community still stands strong with multiple off-shoot servers. | |||

Discord History[edit | edit source]
Dogelore 1[edit | edit source]
The history of the first dogelore Discord server dates back to 2018; this server was not an official one. It was instead created by the users of the first OkBuddyRetard server who actively used the r/dogelore subreddit. The server was nuked somewhere around February of 2019. Not much is remembered from the first server, and only a handful of original members of that community remain. Not much has been saved from the first server, thus it is forgotten by many users. There is a special role for members who were in the first server in the current dogelore.
Dogelore 2[edit | edit source]
The second r/dogelore server is the current one, and the most commonly talked about. The server's beginnings date back to February 22, 2019 (February 21 in the Americas). When the first server was nuked, a user by the name of Names are for the Weak created the second server, giving ownership to Kirbizia after only a day of being owner. The server has seen many changes over the years, with there being countless events in its history that severely changed its course. The server's most well-known historical events are The Day of Reckoning, The Dogelore Civil War and The HHH Drama. The server has had many owners, from Kirbizia to hhh to the current owner, teerunaa.
Infamy[edit | edit source]
The server has been known for housing many users who were banned for especially degenerate reasons, including not only pedophilia, but also zoophilia, a stereotype has grown over the years which posits the average dogelore member as an internet groomer.
This stereotype is certainly untrue, as there have been very few cases of actual pedophiles and zoophiles, and usually all of them are immediately banned by staff when their actions become known. It is also likely that if someone were to add up all of the prominent cases of zoophilia and pedophilia over the years, dogelore would be the server with the most cases. With that being said, this could be attributed to the large member count, and not necessarily how the server is managed.
