I usually don't know the rules of the communities I participate in. But I do check what community a post is in.

No, now are we going to discuss Laezel hentai or what?

"If you do, why" is a better question. And frankly, neither version really tells anyone anything.

People don't check largely because Lemmy UI isn't designed for the community to be a prominent thing, and being a member isn't required by the app for someone to reply.

I assume this is being asked because of the earlier thread about "read the community rules before posting"... As someone else already said, make it private if you don't want the public responding.

Yes, because I like to know that my post will be a good fit for the community that I'm posting it in.

Nope. Why would I?

I usually intend to...

But I also usually intend to wake up a half hour early to do yoga before getting ready for work which has happened... Well... I really considered it one morning.

The results of this are horrifying me

Is this because yesterday?

No, I only check before posting. Comments shouldn't need more rules beyond common rules unless it is some sort of role playing.

No because I'm not subbed to anything on ml. Took Lemmy a while to migrate the right communities off, but things are better now.

Of course I do. Mostly because I avoid communities that I know will be toxic as hell and full of chuds

This seems to be the opposite experience for many who have expressed that they don't check—they feel entitled to be present and post in every space regardless of any context

Not usually.

Because it doesn't actually matter 99℅ of fhe time here. There aren't many active gimmick communities where the community itself adds context to the post.
