Rule 196 is what I'm assuming you're talking about. It was a subreddit that gained popularity due to only having one rule, which is to post before leaving. The sub started after it's predecessor, r/195, was shut down by the moderators

And worth pointing out that Lemmy has a c/195 and a c/196.

I blocked both of them because I just don't want to see that many memes and /new was full of posts in those two communities. But clearly a lot of people are enjoying those.

Thank you for this idea! I’ve been here like 24 hours and I’m already annoyed with them.

I blocked them this morning. Didn’t want to but it was overwhelming.

Haha I'm having great fun over there but I can definitely see why you wouldn't want your feed full of that nonsense.

I saw someone else respond to this on an earlier thread that it was the dorm room number of the person who created it. The sub closed down and someone created a new one as 196. The rule has always been the same.

And why did it shut down and have to be replaced by r/196 ?
