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

Getting a bit more in depth, it specifically stems from the r/195 subreddit, which had only one rule stating that if you visit the subreddit page you must post before you leave. This rule was carried over to derivative subreddits like r/196 after 195 shut down. When 196 came to lemmy, this style of post carried over.
