About r/futurama
In its own words:
Welcome to the world of tomorrow!
Community guide
r/futurama (#906, about 1.2 million) is the Futurama show community—“welcome to the world of tomorrow”—for clips and talk that actually include Futurama content, not modern politics detours.
What belongs
Futurama-direct submissions (about 12 posts/day). Rules require show content; ban listed submission types, modern politics posts, unapproved product ads, and require megathread compliance.
Versus general cartoon meme rooms
Broader cartoon humour subs dilute continuity talk. Futurama wants the Planet Express universe on-screen in the post.
Practical pointers
Keep politics out; check megathreads before duplicate topics.
