'''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 around 48,000. Despite this, the almost four year old community still stands strong with multiple off-shoot servers. | |||
In July of 2024, #general and #casual were switched. A bigger thing that came out of this, however, was that casual was changed to be level-locked from active doge to regular doge again after many years. This boosted activity in the server, seeing how most people are going back to general again and surprisingly using general out of nowhere, resulting in new members interacting more with the community. | |||
== Subreddit History == | |||
On August 15th, 2018, [[Kirbizia]], founder of popular subreddits /r/bonehurtingjuice, /r/okbuddyretard and others such as r/yescompanionimbecil, created /r/dogelore. The purpose of the subreddit was to redirect Doge memes dominating the /r/okbuddyretard subreddit at the time to another subreddit in an attempt to diversify /r/obr's content. | |||
Since its creation and in the following years, the /r/dogelore subreddit formed the titular "Doge lore," introducing new dog meme characters, both original and borrowed elsewhere, and establishing certain relationships between them, both non-canon and canon within the Doge lore. Some of the earliest introduced Doge lore characters besides Doge are Walter and Perro (also known as Quieres). While initially focused on ironic memes featuring exlusively Doge, more dog meme characters were introduced starting in 2018, including Walter, Perro, Lil' Bro, Karen Doge, Swole Dog, Cheems and many others. In addition to the staple "wacky dog does uncharacteristic thing" ironic Doge format, /r/dogelore has been adopting popular meme formats from /r/okbuddyretard, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and iFunny, recreating viral memes and commenting on current affairs with Doge lore characters. | |||
