Fun. I didn't know about that but I would rather have made a people page than a meme page. It appears to have generated a ton of funny images but mainly related or unrelated to pre-existing memes, and it's still apparently very centered around this reddit user, despites the fact that he's an anon. I don't really know for sure.

Yet KYM isn't always fully prepared to properly catch up this kind of internet phenomenons, with the few pre-existing categories that are available.
