What about this 'rule' thing in post titles? (lemmy.world)

Honestly I don't know if it's something Lemmy-only, but I see many post titles ending with the world rule for no apparent reason

It's just a rule from those particular communities. You have to post something before you leave and it has to have the word rule in the title. It's just a silly thing they do.

Thanks! But what does 'before you leave' mean?

It's ~~a community~~ an instance with a rule that if you log in to the website, you have to make a post before you leave (ie log out). The "rule" bit is people indicating that the post is because of the rule, and it caught on. Irritatingly enough.

Oh dear god. Well thanks a lot for the explanation 🥲
