...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.
