Right, here I go! Love these questions... thanks for asking.
So, in HE, you have the normal tokens markets, which by default pair with SWAP.HIVE right?... and that's the default for everyone that creates a token. You have a couple of UI's, like there:
https://tribaldex.com/tokens
https://hive-engine.com
https://atexoras.engine.splex.gg (customizable link from a clone of the HE UI, from the creator of the https://golemoverlord.com/?ref=forykw game)
Then because HE has also contracts capability, we have the so called Diesel Pools (or liquidity pools) where I created a few posts to enable people to get a quick overview (let me know any feedback):
https://peakd.com/hiveengine/@forykw/understanding-liquidity-pools-on-hive-engine-into-basics (internally you have 3 posts).
So, basically, here you have 2 pools that can help with acquiring the MEME or LIST token (and using the beeswap UI, these will be links):
https://beeswap.dcity.io/pools/positions?search=SWAP.HIVE:MEME
https://beeswap.dcity.io/pools/positions?search=SWAP.HIVE:LIST
These are not market trades, and happen instantaneously. Usually at better prices than the market.
In another insight, pools can also have pairs between tokens that are not listed on the market... for example, I could make ATX pair with BEER for example... and that would make another tradable token relationship that does not directly tie to SWAP.HIVE.
Any other questions, happy to help! And welcome to the incentive learning curve...
