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.
Thank you! This worked!
I’m not sure it’s a feature yet. If you find a way please let me know
Ditto - it was my favorite feature on Apollo, and I’m sure I’d like it in wefwef.
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. :)
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
