196 was the spiritual successor or Reddit's r/195. 195 was created because the original mods had a uni apartment with the number 195, and they used to call it "Apartment of awesome", r/196 was created as a "House of awesome" (Or something like that)

RULE 1:IF YOU VISIT THIS COMMUNITY, YOU MUST POST BEFORE LEAVING!! The Lemmy equivalent of r/196 on Reddit. Not officially affiliated (yet).
Any moderators from the reddit can have mod here, just ask.
Right now, there's another 196 over on blahaj.zone. if that one ends up having more users, I'll rename this community.

Okay, thank you. So what's with things like the (jam) rule? Is that just people piggy backing off other posts?
rule
People title their posts as rule because they're following the singular rule: if you visit 196, you have to post
I was on reddit for 12+ years and this entire phenomenon missed me somehow. That's awesome
Now you're one of us. :3
