I've noticed a lot of posts that have the word "rule" added to it even when it doesn't seem to make sense. Sometimes I've even seen titles with only the word "rule". Anyone know what it's about?

Posts from communities such as 195 or 196 have one rule - you must post before you leave. As a result, they have a lot of low-quality shitposts with just ‘rule’ as the title - as in, ‘I’m only posting this to follow the rule’.

Click through to the community the post comes from and have a read of its sidebar if the content is confusing you; this might help illuminate why you’re seeing what you’re seeing.

Yeah, I read the rule but I am still not understanding what the "leave" part means.

Leaving the 196 sub? Leaving what exactly?

Like browsing the com, and then leaving, going back to your regular feed.

Oookay. Sometimes I just feel I'm too old for this shit.

It's mostly just a dumb fun thing I guess, noone takes it too seriously
