    Look at the way all the other post titles are formated. [Source Name Here] Article Title

      I see. This is something that should be in the sidebar. I bet it’d make your mod life much easier.

          And now that it’s an issue, it’s the time to take care of it and add the rule (and any others there might be) to the sidebar.

          BTW. It was my first post on Lemmy and I immediately got called out for some unwritten rule. It was a less than ideal experience.

            I agree with you, bro. This is all so new, no one is going to be just magically aware of all these unwritten rules. For all you knew, any existing seemingly standardized title format could just be bots posting and following whatever format they were programmed to use. Even if this is a Lemmy replacement for an existing subreddit, I still wouldn’t even assume the same rules apply… Because who even knows which old rules are still in place and which were thrown out because “we’re not in Reddit anymore, Toto”?

            So yeah. +1 to you. Unwritten rules occur naturally over time after the community is built up and has a natural and obvious vibe or whatever. But two weeks after the Rexxit when this whole thing still feels like the wild west, if there are rules, they should be written down so that everyone’s playing from the same deck.

            I’m definitely not arguing against rules or the enforcement thereof, just that I think unwritten rules and calling out someone for not knowing them seems a little unfair at the moment.

            Just my $0.02.
