Why are are some posts called "Title"?
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
I always thought it was because the person don't know what title to write. So they simply write "Title" as in generic
That's exactly the reason.
OP, it's no big deal.
I see now, thank you. I was just wondering. Now that I look a little more at the 'Title' posts as examples for others to look at, the more I see that it's usually for stuff that's hard to title without spoiling the content of the post (e.g. typing out the entire text of a meme would be really annoying)
Yes and mostly because whoever posts something and calls it "title," those are an example of "low-effort posts."
