I thought I also saw, at some point, a post saying the only rule was your post had to have “rule” somewhere in the title. (Probably in response to people making their required one post and already putting rule in the title). And after that I feel like I saw a lot more posts with rule in the title.
I’m pretty certain it’s not a rule there, everyone just kind of assumes it’s what you’re meant to do when they post, because they see every other post.
Kind of a self enforcing unofficial rule, I guess?

That’s basically r/memes on Reddit. no humor, just people saying their thoughts in a crappy meme format.
