I had been feeling a bit drawn in to reddit for the past few months before the divorce. I feel like the slower pace at which content comes out on Lemmy is good for me in that way. I can’t just scroll and scroll and scroll my entire day away.
Does anyone else feel similar?
I know I’m late to the party but is there any chance you can explain 196 to me?
There once was a r/195 which I’m late to the party for but was apparently just a dumping ground of memes by a bunch of students who all lived in dorm room 195 (or something along those lines) so when it shut down people who wanted to keep something like that going decided to set up r/196
The only rule (technically there were a few more such as no NFT avatars, or that one specific person could post porn if censored correctly) was that you had to post something before you left if you opened the sub. So it became a weird meme dumping ground, and because the mods weren’t assholes it ended up being a pretty nice space for left leaning folk and gender minorities.
No clue why posts are just titled “rule”. I assume it started out as people simply not having a title in mind when posting, and then just kinda stuck.
Maybe because the rule is you have to post something before you close it? I dunno. Thanks for the explanation. There’s some wild stuff in there.
