Özet: This paper investigates remix practice which is a popular method for creating content on the digital ecosystem. Within the scope of the paper, the remix has been analyzed in three dimensions: 1. as a way of building new meanings out of existing sources 2. as a way of generating user content 3. as for being in endless mobility. The history and applications of remix practices particularly the humoristic instances have been put under investigation. Throughout a month, all posts from three Instagram accounts have been collected afterwards the remix applications in these posts were identified. These findings were classified under three subtitles: 1. the remix implemented by the admin of the Instagram account, 2. the remix implemented by the followers of the account, 3. the remix which develops due to the mobility of the posts between social media environments. Frequency analysis has been conducted on 504 Instagram posts. In conclusion, these posts have been identified as humoristic, mobile, interactive, and multi-dimensional remix content.
