Edit: This rule seems to be much more nuanced and requires more thought than we had put in, please continue to discuss below.

It is NOT in effect at this time but highly recommend for regional subreddits at least.

~~The above rule has been added to the instance and will be enforced instance wide.~~ This rule is very common within most existing communities where news articles are shared and avoids sensationalizing the story or attempts at steering discussion by the user posting the article.

Since Lemmy titles can be edited, this seems fair. I don't think posters should be required to update titles to match edited headlines however I believe it should be recommended.

We're definitely not planning on enforcing this retroactively. I've got better things to do with my life than that. 😅
