Do you check what community you're about to participate in before participating?

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?

People don't check largely because Lemmy UI isn't designed for the community to be a prominent thing, and being a member isn't required by the app for someone to reply.
I assume this is being asked because of the earlier thread about "read the community rules before posting"... As someone else already said, make it private if you don't want the public responding.

I literally cannot comprehend why you wouldn't look at the community name before commenting. Do you not read titles either? What kind of life are you people living- it genuinely baffles me

No, now are we going to discuss Laezel hentai or what?

Nope. Why would I?

Why even have communities if nobody is going to respect the individual culture and purpose of them?

STFU.
I see a title that I may have an opinion or quip to leave in comments.
I do NOT care what community/group it belongs in.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I'm reading the post and looking at the pretty image if there is one.
If the post sounds like a shit post, I do check the community to see if it is likely to be ironic, but otherwise no.

Content filtering.

Yes, because I like to know that my post will be a good fit for the community that I'm posting it in.

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.

I usually don't know the rules of the communities I participate in. But I do check what community a post is in.

But I also usually intend to wake up a half hour early to do yoga before getting ready for work which has happened... Well... I really considered it one morning.

No because I'm not subbed to anything on ml. Took Lemmy a while to migrate the right communities off, but things are better now.

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.

I think that's reasonable
I have run into users not being aware of which community a post is in a few times. Two recent examples
- We were discussing whether we should remove a post from [email protected] and if it was relevant to Canada. Two users may have misunderstood it as trying to defend trump
- I posted a study comparing the efficacy of a particular vaccine regiment in [email protected], which is intended for medical professionals, and someone thought I was posting antivax disinfo. Studies on vaccine efficacy are common, and that's how we decide on schedules and develop better ones
I get it, times are stressful. I left polite comments pointing out the community, and in both cases it would have been smoother if the person checked what the community is about before making assumptions.

Yes. I also check the instance just in case.

Actually it's better to do yoga/stretching when you get home or after you finish exercising. -

wrote last edited by [email protected]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.
