You’d think that, but really most of the comments are just from people coming in from c/all
What does that have to do with anything? It's a post about Apple, posted to c/Apple, where people (from wherever) are discussing features of the Apple OS. Shouted's complaint still makes no fucking sense. If you go to c/Android, where people make posts about Android, you'll see also plenty of people (from wherever) making all sort of comments, that also include complaints about Android's upcoming features. It's the most non-complaint in history. “People are using the website as intended to make fun of my phone! waaahhh!”
This is c/apple_enthusiast, not c/apple
Who cares?
My point is that this is supposed to be community for people who daily drive these Apple operating systems, but that’s not who is primarily commenting on these threads.
You want a…private…community on the Fediverse? I'm sorry Sir/Mme, I think you are pretty lost and confused here. Nowhere is it specified that this community is exclusively for iOS users.
Not what I said at all.

Yup, them’s the rules.
All I’m saying is that this community often feels like walking into a restaurant called “The Vegan Enthusiast” and finding everyone complaining about the lack of steak on the menu.
Realistically, Lemmy is only really only going to be able to discourage brigading and focus community conversations once it implements some of the community subscription options that Reddit’s mod tools have.
Sure, but that's an entirely different complaint. I still think this is not the place for that. If you want privacy go to a forum or a discord, or wherever walled garden people like on the Internet to gatekeep communities now (non-derogadory, there's uses for that kind of places).
Lemmy is already an echo chamber, such rules would make it worse. There's not ensured volume of interaction yet to grant that either. Limit c/apple_enthusiast and the community collapses in inactivity.
