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

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

That's basically r/memes on Reddit. no humor, just people saying their thoughts in a crappy meme format.

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

calabast 3 points 3 years ago

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.

normalmighty 4 points 3 years ago

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?

Communities usually named 195 or 196 have a rule that if you go there you have to post something. So people will post something and title it "Rule." And it leads to a bunch of low effort crap posts.

Just block any 195 and 196 communites to save your feed from getting overwhelmed with bad posts.

Even though, I am no fun of low effort content, there is so few active community that it's a bit refreshing to see content, even low effort, also they spread to much over Lemmy, that looks like it'll contaminate lemmy's culture which is great to become something else than redditfugees

If you think there are few active communities on Lemmy, you may be looking in the wrong place.

There is a community called 196, their only rule is to post something before leaving.

The rule is post something before you leave, not "don't post rule 34" before you leave.

Yeah I can't blame them for posting content. It's not ideal that 169 and shitposting take up 80% of my feed, but it's better than nothing, right?

My subscription feed isn't big enough yet for me to just scroll through that so I've been dipping in and out of... I was about to say /r/all but whatever the Lemmy word for that is, and there seems to be a new dumb community flooding my feed every day - yesterday it was 196, today it was weirdgirlmemes. I just block them and carry on

I completely agree, but I would ascribe a lot of it to teething of an early platform. Narwhals and bacon once dominated that other site in the early days lol

I like it too. Back in Reddit I never saw/heard about that community. I have grown fond of their humor here on Kbin. It gets at least a couple of laughs a day, and I've even laughed out loud on some occasions.

Could be worse. At least we don't have "dubs" threads like 4chan does.

Turning dubs back on right before he left was the final middle finger from moot, I suspect.

Every post on a chan-style imageboard has a number. If the last two digits are the same, it's "dubs."

Now imagine a million threads full of nothing but people trying to get dubs on their comment. Yeah, it's really that stupid.

The creator of 4chan (moot) turned them off at some point (as in, it would skip any number with dubs, but not trips or above), but right before he sold 4chan he turned them back on.
