For a while now, as mod of r/MongolHistoryMemes, I disliked how we allowed all forms of steppe memes when the subreddit name was MongolHistoryMemes. So, after looking back to our discussions when we were first determining the name of the subreddit, I decided to create this new subreddit, r/SteppePosting. It's been something in my thoughts for weeks now but I finally decided to pull the trigger.

There was also issues where people would post questions and discussions in MongolHistoryMemes that I'd have to remove. Thus, in r/SteppePosting, we will allow memes, discussions, questions, and anything related to the nomadic peoples of the steppe.

I'll be crossposting a bunch of stuff from r/MongolHistoryMemes just to fill the subreddit a bit, but I'll also start working on some new OC to crosspost out of the subreddit.

One last thing: there will be one discord server for r/MongolHistoryMemes and r/SteppePosting. This way we won't split the community of steppe enjoyers.

While reading about the Xiongnu after the collapse of the confederation, I made this neat little connection

What the old Russians thought would happen if they died without their beard:

They founded the Northern Wei dynasty and ruled half of China

He saved Europe is what he did, and in this house John Hunyadi is a hero

An exaggeration, but they did sack a shitton of cities

Reconquista

This guy is the reason China learned so much about Central Asia, and kinda started the Silk Road.

Window to Europe: Successfully hacked

And thus ended the bromance

Cyrus the Great captured the Queen's heir, but ended up losing the next battle

Only Mongol Posts Allowed

Birth of a Subreddit

Tumu Crisis? Eu4 reference???

He turned the Byzantine Emperor's skull into a cup

Supposedly the Indo-Aryan Iranians taught the Turkic and Mongolic people the "steppe way of life".
