So uh I am old and easily confused—what does “rule” mean in a fediverse context and why is it in the titles of so many posts? Please take pity and explain it to this frail geriatric millennial. TIA (kbin.social)

This is due to the community over at /c/196, formally /r/196. From Urban Dictonary:

"A subreddit that gained popularity due to only having one rule, which is to post before leaving. The sub started after it's predecessor, r/195, was shut down by the moderators."

Every post is titled with 'rule' in a similar vein to me_irl or the like (which has a similar gimmick). They're sort of free for all communities, usually meme focused.
