Do you check what community you're about to participate in before participating?
-
If I'm making a post I make sure it's relevant to the community I'm posting to, but just commenting on posts that show up in my feed I dont bother most of the time. Most message board rules boil down to "stay roughly on topic and dont be a dick to the other people here" anyway; you probably dont need to know most message board rules if youre adhering to that.
There are some women only communities, like WomensStuff. I respect that women want to have their safe spaces without men inserting themselves into the conversation.
”But what about us??? Men have it difficult to!”
But usually it’s obvious from the title alone that it’s about woman subject.

I dont have a ton of respect for people making or enforcing exclusionary spaces on public message boards like that. If they really wanted a separate safe space they'd have something like beehaw with moderated sign-ups and a closed door policy to people who dont go through the verification. I dont care about it enough to argue and I go with a "block and let live" strategy regarding those kind of places, but im also not about to spend time or energy policing myself beyond the aforementioned "on topic, dont be a dick" because a bunch of people intentionally chose the wrong hosting tool for an exclusionary community so they can (in my opinion) performatively other people they dont like in a public space.

I assumed that this was standard behaviour/etiquette, though I'm realizing maybe it's actually not so common, and I want to know if I'm the weird one
If you don't- why not?

Is this because yesterday?
No, I only check before posting. Comments shouldn't need more rules beyond common rules unless it is some sort of role playing.
-
I don't, but I also only post to communities I'm subscribed to so I already know what I should/shouldn't post. Rarely I might go onto all, but not often at all.
This. Are people so thirsty for content they spend all their time in all?

No, I'm lazy and only really care about the topic.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Generally yes. It provides context for the posts, which is important, and while not as prominent as the post title and image in the main feed, it's still listed right above those on the app I use.

All my troubles seemed so far away.

Yeah, I check that it's not .ml first.

The results of this are horrifying me

Only to check if it's the onion or not, if my brain tells me, "that can't be true".

Sometimes. The community name can give me some context before I participate, if it’s not already obvious from the title. For example, I try to avoid commenting in ADHD communities because I don’t have ADHD.
But in most cases I don’t care. If I see a post I want to participate in, I participate. Lemmy is too small to be segregated into sub communities. Lemmy itself is the community.
Fr this is such a weird thing to even care about when there's like 15,000 people using this site. There's not any niche communities bc theres no user base for them but op wants to make sure nobody cross pollinates the fediverse, get over yourself. Make your comm private if you care so much about people interacting with your posts on the internet

wrote last edited by [email protected]No. This site is built entirely around shitposting. It simply isnt that important, and I dont care.

Absolutely not

I am - new to lemmy and don't know what to subscribe to, and local stuff I don't much care about, so all it is

Because it doesn't actually matter 99℅ of fhe time here. There aren't many active gimmick communities where the community itself adds context to the post.

I engage with content on my feed. The titles are prominent, the community name less so. If content seems extremely contextual, I'll probably check, but otherwise I just engage with the content and comments.
It was surprisingly hard at one time to get both the poster and community to show up in Voyager. I spent about half an hour figuring out the settings to make it happen. Between shitpost, Onion, and NotTheOnion communities, and the amount of overlap between posts in them, I find that vital context in many posts.

Yeah! If women want their own space they should sequester themselves into a backroom with no advertising and an onerous sign-up process requiring an ID check that no one ever sees or hears about but somehow all women will know it exists because they have a psychic sense for those kinds of things

Of course I do. Mostly because I avoid communities that I know will be toxic as hell and full of chuds
This seems to be the opposite experience for many who have expressed that they don't check—they feel entitled to be present and post in every space regardless of any context
