Rihanna takes on fat-shamers with the perfect meme

http://edition.cnn.com/2017/06/06/celebrities/rihanna-response-body-shaming-meme/index.html?iid=ob_lockedrail_bottommedium

Q1: Would anyone please explain what 'meme' means in this context? I've looked it up on my dictionary and Wikipedia, but I'm unable to understand.

Q2: And what are the meanings for H2, H2, PRE, which are the editing functions on a post? What are H, PRE stand for?

Many thanks!
