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?
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.
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.
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.
It’s the rule on the popular community /c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
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.
