Do you check what community you're about to participate in before participating?
-
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.
You mean this isn't woodshop class?

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?

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

I usually intend to...
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
