Near as I can tell, there are certain communities that have a "rule" that every time you browse that community, you must post something before you leave. This leads to a lot of low effort shitposting that I guess some people find fun but I just blocked those communities so my /All feed wasn't cluttered.
No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

How can I block communities through wefwef? I can’t seem to find an option.
Sorry, I don't use wefwef. In the main browser, you can navigate to the community and the "block" button is right below the "subscribe" option.
Thank you! This worked!
I’m not sure it’s a feature yet. If you find a way please let me know
I followed someone's advice and spent some time on the main browser on my desktop and just blocked communities from there. Now they don't show up on my wefwef feed. :)
Ditto - it was my favorite feature on Apollo, and I’m sure I’d like it in wefwef.
its just a rule for the 196 community. New folks saw it in thier ALL feed then went and did it in any community. Its turned into a "thing" for a bit.
Honestly, Ill take this over not pooping for days.
uuumm not pooping for days?
It's no longer the top post of all time for Lemmy!

thank you reddit flood #2 and welcome!
It’s no longer the top post of all time for Lemmy!
It was always destined to move to #2. After the three days had elapsed, of course.
slow clap....
oh wow. what did i just read...
Sweet Jesus… that’s gold
as others have mentioned, its a quirk of the 196 community. 196 was one of the most active early communities to migrate from reddit, and as such a lot of people saw their posts in new.
what does 196 stand for?
not really sure tbh
Rule 196: before leaving this community, you must make a post.
ah ok. Thanks!
You must include the word "rule" in every comment and post title on Lemmy to indicate that you accept the ToS :)
You are naughty lol
Sorry :D Couldn't help but make that joke
