They're imagining the community (the subreddit) as a space one enters by navigating to the community's main page, and "leaving" it is going to do other things.
A rule that asks users to post before they leave seems arbitrary, that's why it's confusing to me. If people only post because it's a rule, I thought a logical consequence would be tons of posts of low quality.
So the community is 196, and it's really just a fun shitposting/meme community (with a pretty big LGBTQ+ presence, for reasons that are actually kind of interesting).
Biggest thing is to not treat the rule too seriously, while of course acting like it's the most serious thing possible. If that kind of thing isn't your speed though, no one will fault you for blocking the community. Unless you're into raw-dogging lemmy like me, curating your own feed is a good idea (just note that you might see a lot less content - the correct move is make stuff you like until you see more of it in that case. It may take a while depending on what it is).
Out of context "rawdagging lemmy" sounds like a femboy orgy, and even more out of context I feel bad for the lemmings.
Even more out of context, it's a horrific way to treat the corpse of a rock and roll legend.
It's a meme shitposting community; arbitrary is to be expected
I think you'll find that community is exactly that. I forget which it is, I've long since blocked it.
