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.

    Yes and mostly because whoever posts something and calls it “title,” those are an example of “low-effort posts.”
