I haven’t spent long on Lemmy, but I see a lot of posts with their title literally being “Title”. Is it meant to be a joke? Is it because the title would otherwise be a quote ripped from the image/post itself, and the posters don’t want their fellow Lemmites to get bored from reading the same bit of text twice? Reason why I ask is because I recently posted something where I took the title from the body of text in the post, and I’m wondering if people find it less annoying to read a single placeholder word before clicking into the main post than to end up rereading a bit of the body later.

    I looked through several of these ‘title’ posts, and that does seem to be the most common use for that now that I look at it. Though I do occassionally come across stuff that you could probably come up with a decent title for, but might take longer than is worthwhile. Thank you!
