It's lots of subreddits. There are some serious ones, but the main-stream ones all contain the usual memes, injokes etc.
I enjoy diving into reddit every now and again. But I use github for work (and code for fun, although it's 'serious' fun). Although open-source collaboration is a fundamentally social activity, I think that mixing source control with a social network does inevitably leads to these kinds of comments. And I wouldn't dream of mixing that up with my professional identity.
Maybe it's just a marker of how versatile github is, and the community of people who write programs and put them in source control.
