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/195 on Reddit. Not officially affiliated (yet).
Any moderators from the reddit can have mod here, just ask.
There's another 196 over on 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Most people use the Blahaj.zone one so this place isn't very active.

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
