    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?

    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.

      Depends on post topic. If it's about gender then I'll check the community just to understand the local rules but otherwise no.

        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.

          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.

              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.

                      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.

                                  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

                                    No. This site is built entirely around shitposting. It simply isnt that important, and I dont care.

                                          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?

                                          Not usually.

                                          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.
