But aren’t jokes supposed to be like, funny or something?

Don’t think it’s a joke. It’s just a thing that is done

According to an unsourced claim on Wikipedia, “repetition is the essential comedic device”

I thought I also saw, at some point, a post saying the only rule was your post had to have “rule” somewhere in the title. (Probably in response to people making their required one post and already putting rule in the title). And after that I feel like I saw a lot more posts with rule in the title.

I’m pretty certain it’s not a rule there, everyone just kind of assumes it’s what you’re meant to do when they post, because they see every other post.

Kind of a self enforcing unofficial rule, I guess?

Literally the first thing I did after getting into Lemmy was blocking all of the 196 communities. Literally brain-rotting

I blocked that community because it was literally flooding my front page

Yep. 196 communities are getting pretty highly upvoted too which is why you’re seeing them so much when browsing all.

I mean they’re also one of the main meme communities atm. Most of the other ones don’t have near as much traffic
