New Community Rule: "No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports." (lemmy.world)

Due to the large number of reports we've received about recent posts, we've added Rule 7 stating "No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports."

In general, we allow a post's fate to be determined by the amount of downvotes it receives. Sometimes, a post is so offensive to the community that removal seems appropriate. This new rule now allows such action to be taken.

We expect to fine-tune this approach as time goes on. Your patience is appreciated.

But how would you know before watching?

"Based on the upvotes and comments" Oh then others doing the work to watch it and rate it on lemmy for you.

Imo, when a link to a video or forum or whatever is posted, then at least a summery or a discussion should be included.

That is what Lemmy is for. Sometimes you will take the risk and watch the video and comment, if it interests you more.

Other times you'll let others do it for you, or skim over it if it interests you less.

That's how I use Lemmy anyway.

Most ppl seem to agree with me.

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Live and let live I say.

[–] ShortN0te@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It seems, the majority does not want it.

If ppl do not like it they can use another selfhosted from another instance. Thats what lemmy or the fediverse is build for.

Do not want what?/I'm not sure what you're talking about?

I was just saying it is fine to browse Lemmy reading comments to find out what a video is about, not that we should have low effort video posts.

The discussion is about low effort Link only Video and or others Posts. If you are not reffering to them then you missed the point.
