    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 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?

      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.

                          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.

                            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.

                              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.

                              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

                                  Blud sequestering themselves from men is literally the stated goal of that kind of community. So... yeah? If people want to be sequestered that does involve sequestering themselves somewhere. Maybe if you feel like those kind of places are hard to find you should engage in some praxis and spread the word about them rather than crying at me because I feel othered by a "no men allowed" sign planted in a public forum. Wanting a safe space is valid. Trying to force people you dont like out of an open space to create that safe space is not valid.

                                    This poll needs a "depends" option.

                                    I don't, but if something in the comments seem off (or the title of the post does) then I do. So it's about 50/50. I also usually browse All though.

                                    That's why I think exclusionary communities should have their own instance - makes it easier to control postings and such. Especially since seeing the rules isn't always intuitive in GUIs such as Voyager.

                                      There was post expressing frustration with men (post|comment)ing in women-only community , surprise surprise that threads immediately infested with (misogyn|cissex)ists
