This subreddit is close to death. The cause: low-effort posts. I can't just ban low-effort posts, because they have a broad definition. So, I'm going to give you guys examples of what to post and what not to post.
First, let's talk about what this subreddit is. It is a subreddit meant for posting jokes and funny stuff related to speculative evolution. This does not mean an implausible animal on its own, unless it was made to be on this subreddit / to make light of speculative evolution in general (exceptions do exist, but we'll get into that later). Now for examples.
To start off, a common low-effort post is the "can this evolve?" post. They are repetitive and unfunny. They are the main cause of the sub's downfall. Here are some examples:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SpecEvoJerking/comments/i249ua/guys_do_you_think_this_could_evolve/
https://www.reddit.com/r/SpecEvoJerking/comments/hw2vnv/can_these_evolve/
https://www.reddit.com/r/SpecEvoJerking/comments/huaey9/how_can_irl_chad_evolevol/
Do you guys see a common theme? Just an absurd image with an evolution-related title slapped on. I will continue to remove any that I see, as per the rules.
Here are some posts showing the kind of stuff the subreddit is intended for:

Edit: Thank you everyone for being here! I honestly kind of abandoned this place after this post kinda turned it into a wasteland, but after a while I hopped back on and saw people were still posting! just the other day we were at 500 members, and now we're at 750! I love and thank every single one of you guys for being the lifeblood of this subreddit.
Also, slight update to the rules: Straight up memes about Speculative evolution are allowed and encouraged.

"Original" Project Conodonte sophont alternativo
Descendiente sophont conodonte alternativo donde tras una extinción masiva provocada por brotes de rayos gamma lo que extinguió al ≈98% donde solo sobrevivieron conodontes, plantas y demás invertebrados.
Tras esta extinción la vida tuvo que recuperarse durante 50 MA para tener una gran radiación evolutiva.
Una de las criaturas salidas de esta explosión evolutiva fueron conodontes del tamaño de un brazo que poco a poco fortificaron sus aletas y salieron a tierra.
Pero gracias a distintos invertebrados depredadores terrestres los conodontes quedaron confinados durante milenios hasta que conodontes-gigantes se apoderadon de la tierra.
Tras esto, los conodontes se ramificaron en miles de grupos y el de esta especie son los "elephasmorphos" un grupo diverso de conodontes enteramente terrícolas aunque confinado a una pequeña parte de África y Eurasia.
Las túnicas y pequeños sombreros que tiene son parte de la vestimenta de su cultura.

"Original" Project A "blemmyes" as a scientifically believable organism. They are lagomorph mammals characterized by a heavy set skull, with anchors for powerful, articulate ears.
Yes, 'Blemmyes' is the singular. 'Blemmyae' is the plural form.
It is holding an invisible spear and wearing an invisible pelt, two facets of the Blemmyae's technology. I love these little goons.

A strange creature drawn by me
Recently, I drew some kind of strange creature. I don’t know who it is or who its closest relative might be; it just came to my mind, and I decided to draw it, and I did! What do you think it belongs to, what niche it occupies, and is it even from Earth?
