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.

Domille OP ,

what does 196 stand for?

lutillian ,

Rule 196: before leaving this community, you must make a post.

not really sure tbh

You must include the word “rule” in every comment and post title on Lemmy to indicate that you accept the ToS :)

Domille OP ,

You are naughty lol

moreeni ,

Sorry :D Couldn’t help but make that joke

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.

thirdorbital ,

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. :)

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 was always destined to move to #2. After the three days had elapsed, of course.

Domille OP ,
