    I’m here for over a year and I still don’t get much of what’s going on here.

    For example, why posts are titled “rule”.

      One of the rules of that community is “post before you leave.” People put “rule” in the post to indicate they’re complying with that rule.

        Please excuse my ignorance, but what does “leave” mean in this context? Before I leave what?

          They’re imagining the community (the subreddit) as a space one enters by navigating to the community’s main page, and “leaving” it is going to do other things.

            A rule that asks users to post before they leave seems arbitrary, that’s why it’s confusing to me. If people only post because it’s a rule, I thought a logical consequence would be tons of posts of low quality.
