'''Whenthe''' is an ironic meme Discord server which was dedicated to the r/Whenthe subreddit founded in 2020. The discord server was originally founded in December 2018 as the second generation of the [[OkBuddyRetard]] server ('''OkBR2'''). It was rebranded a year later as the official Discord for the r/whenthe, a {{w|subreddit}} about GIF caption memes. The server is no longer in a mutual partnership with the r/Whenthe subreddit, though the staff has expressed that if enough user wish for the partnership to be brought back, a consideration may happen. As stated before though, the discord and subreddit isn't very close in character and many members of the Discord actually hate the subreddit. The server continues to be quite active, and the subreddit has seen enormous growth recently, reaching 20,000 members on March 20, 2023.

After the initial end of the partnership between the discord server and r/[[OkBuddyRetard]] the server didn't have a lot of growth, in order to fuel the membercount of Whenthe, (then still Funny Omega) the mods would first create r/RageBased, a rage comic themed meme subreddit. This subreddit concept would not prosper and the subreddit itself would decline into obscurity, a few days later the mods would request r/whenthe. On the 25th of March 2020 [[Prod]] would release a statement detailing the opening of the r/whenthe subreddit. Dedicated to funny meme captions, it would slowly grow until seeing a massive explosion in popularity around late 2021, a popular subreddit youtuber known as Emkay would release a video about r/whenthe. With some still remembering what had happened to r/[[OkBuddyRetard]] it prompted a lot of worry within both the discord and subreddit communities, the subreddit mods would private r/whenthe for a few days to stop many new users from joining the subreddit and "ruining it", as of now the subreddit has gained a spectacular half a million members. It was also one of the many subreddits which joined the API protest in solidarity. Emkay's terrible video is shown below.
