  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

I don't know what everyone means when they use 'rule' in the title and at this point I'm too afraid to ask. Please enlighten me.

That's because the "rule" of !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone is to "post before you leave"... That creates a lot of random posts that all have some kind of "rule" in the title. Sometimes these posts get popular and you see them in your feed.

What if I visit the community/magazine without posting? How do they know?

The incident will be reported at /var/log/auth.log

But then it’d be obvious the community is just used as a miscellaneous memes & 💩posts community and isn’t actually a place you go, browse, and post before logging off!

Doesn’t matter either way but it is a clever bit of engagement bait / encouragement for new posters.
