Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.

back on the Old Site there was r/195 which was somebody's apartment number and started out with just their friends. then it got popular, was flooded and became hard to moderate; the mods shut it down in what was known as The Experiment. This was the birth of r/196, which thrived before shutting down the second Reddit API shit hit the fan. And so here we are, on Fedi.
But what is it about?
It’s like take a penny leave a penny for shitposts.
The main rule was that if you visited the sub you had to post a meme before you left, (obviously unenforceable) but that's why all the posts have "rule" in the title. It ended up being a very queer friendly and fairly horny subreddit, somewhat notoriously so lol
Kewl.
Both the original 195 and the new 196 share a rule
"You must post before you leave"
New here too but wym he just said apartment number was 195, new subreddit became 196
