I keep seeing posts with just “rule” in the title and I am pretty sure I missed something. Would anyone care to explain to this millennial boomer what I missed?
You must log in or register to comment.
Near as I can tell, there are certain communities that have a “rule” that every time you browse that community, you must post something before you leave. This leads to a lot of low effort shitposting that I guess some people find fun but I just blocked those communities so my /All feed wasn’t cluttered.
How can I block communities through wefwef? I can’t seem to find an option.
Sorry, I don’t use wefwef. In the main browser, you can navigate to the community and the “block” button is right below the “subscribe” option.
Thank you! This worked!
I’m not sure it’s a feature yet. If you find a way please let me know
I followed someone’s advice and spent some time on the main browser on my desktop and just blocked communities from there. Now they don’t show up on my wefwef feed. :)
Ditto - it was my favorite feature on Apollo, and I’m sure I’d like it in wefwef.
its just a rule for the 196 community. New folks saw it in thier ALL feed then went and did it in any community. Its turned into a “thing” for a bit.
Honestly, Ill take this over not pooping for days.
uuumm not pooping for days?
It’s no longer the top post of all time for Lemmy!

It was always destined to move to #2. After the three days had elapsed, of course.
slow clap…
oh wow. what did i just read…
Sweet Jesus… that’s gold
It’s the rule on the popular community /c/[email protected]
It’s from this community: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/196 Read their only rule :)
as others have mentioned, its a quirk of the 196 community. 196 was one of the most active early communities to migrate from reddit, and as such a lot of people saw their posts in new.
what does 196 stand for?
not really sure tbh
Rule 196: before leaving this community, you must make a post.
ah ok. Thanks!
You must include the word “rule” in every comment and post title on Lemmy to indicate that you accept the ToS :)
You are naughty lol
Sorry :D Couldn’t help but make that joke
