What is a "196" community? I tried looking it up and there's only astrology stuff coming up.

It's a meme community with a special rule (see the sidebar).

To add to the other responses, it was the very first community I blocked upon moving from Kbin.social (when it died) to Lemmy, since while the content is not so much "bad" it is just so... MUCH.

And I've heard the same story from so many others. It makes browsing All - particularly by New - very difficult by overwhelming the space.

As already mentioned, it moves around a lot - there are at least three communities here now, and also on Reddit before there was a r/196 there was a r/195, so it moving and splitting and continuing on is kinda its thing - sorta exactly like the Fediverse itself!:-)
