Well, where would such content go? I agree these things don’t fit the definition of a meme. But they aren’t jokes either. And there’s no c/randomFunnyStuff.
If you removed everything that isn’t a perfectly pure meme, this community would be very empty.
...and, how does it become a meme without being posted as one...?
That's like having c/sayings and people just write shit in it: "well how can it become a saying if we don't treat it like one!" That makes no sense. It's not for making sayings, it's for things that ARE sayings.
There are things in the category already and the community, based on the name, should be for that.
I would recommend c/memematerial to be born to fill the niche you're discussing.
Edit: lol downvote if youre 12 and you have some pictures of text we just have to see.
If you find the screenshot quote funny and memeable, make a meme out of it and post it here. But the screenshot itself is too little.

I mean, is demanding some effort and quality really asking too much? If this community was empty withouth non-meme posts, does it deserve to be a meme community?
People are lazy and meme communities are bigger so obviously they are going to post whatever content to the larger community for engagement. It's not any more complicated than that. As long as meme communities are bigger and accept non-memes they will continue to be posted to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
Wherever the picture-of-text memes go. The content is unchanged, the form should change.
There's a microblog memes community.
Maybe a Greentext-like community could be created, but for general funny or odd texts from the internet?
