[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

Lemmy has bare minimum mod tools. They can view reports and take action on them, delete comments, delete or lock posts, and ban users from the com

Well that's a little depressing to know

but this site also seems super in development so who knows maybe in the future it will get better
