I’m not sure if this is technically feasible, but I wanted to suggest a small UX feature that could be really helpful.
When a user goes to create a post in a community, would it be possible to add a button labeled “Rules” on the post creation screen? Tapping it would take the user directly to that community’s rules, similar to how Reddit surfaces rules during posting.
I know users can already view the rules by going to the community’s description page, but having a dedicated “Rules” button right at the point of posting could:
Reduce accidental rule violations
Make onboarding easier for new Lemmy users
Encourage better-quality posts overall
I totally understand if there are technical or Lemmy-side limitations, but I figured it was worth suggesting.
Unfortunately there isn’t a field for community rules specifically however I could add a button that allows the user to quickly view the community information from the create post screen. I’ll add it to the roadmap.
