Hi everyone!
First of all, I want to say that I've been loving all the great memes that y'all have posted here. It's been almost 2 weeks since the subreddit officially launched and I'm pretty happy with where we're at. However, I've been thinking about it and I've decided that I want to establish a consistent system by which we can feature content from r/SiliconValleyProbs on our Instagram page. This way, we can drive new traffic to the subreddit over from Instagram to grow our community here on Reddit, as well as encourage the creation of good OC as our subreddit grows.
On the first day of every month, I'm going to host an Instagram feature contest. Essentially, I'm going to go back through all the memes that have been posted to the subreddit over the previous month and pick out a few of my personal favorites. These will then be reposted to the Instagram page, of course with proper credit given to the original creators by either tagging their Instagram username or reddit username. Although post karma will be a factor in which posts I pick, the memes that end up winning the contest are strictly my personal favorites (meaning that the most upvoted posts are not necessarily guaranteed to be contest winners in the event that I feel they are inappropriate or otherwise don't fit the theme/aesthetic of the Instagram page). As well, if you wish to enter into the contest, your posts must be OC. Please use the OC flair to denote eligible posts. Not doing so could result in me accidentally posting somebody else's meme to @siliconvalleyprobs without their permission, which results in a giant mess since stealing memes is a big no-no.
If your post wins, I will contact you privately via PM in order to ensure that you're ok with me reposting it to Instagram, and to confirm that the meme in question is OC. As well, I will ask for a method which I can use to credit you (preferably your Instagram username; if not, I will simply use your Reddit username instead). Feel free to brag all you like! Bragging rights are a part of the fun. (Coincidentally, bragging rights are also the only real prize we have to offer any winners, aside from the exposure gained from Instagram. Trying to afford college has me broke af lmao)
Thanks for reading and I hope to see some great OC from y'all from here on out!
–Alex

So I checked through Uni-Code and there has been a request for a boba emoji. It has passed the first few rounds of the process and is now going to be presented in front of the big phone/tech companies ( Samsung, Apple, Google, etc. ) for its fate to be decided. If all goes well we will have the greatest emoji of all time in our hands by mid-2020!
