[meta] Suggestion: can we make it mandatory that every normal post here has to have the "ELI5" words in the title like in the original sub? (feddit.it)

I feel like that was a cool and unique enough mark for original subreddit to give it a different vibe than most other communities with similar intent.

It also helps standardizing the titling format just enough to make it less confusing and clearer when reading them. Now that there is a brand new modding team I feel like this could be a good thing to add here

I have no idea how to mod in this site, but on Reddit you could just put an automatic filter that either doesn't even let you post or instantly blocks your post if it doesn't meet the required criteria or specific keywords.

At least in the rules there is a thing even for the "Today I learned" sub and the "You Should Know" on Lemmy, so... worse come to worse we could just ask their mods how did they implement it?

    Fully agreed. The mods will add this as a rule but probably not enforce it super aggressively. Unlike things like abuse and spam, the downsides of not adding a tag is that you’ll invite lower quality responses. We can look at some kind of automation if the community really grows.
