It’s not, but it’s become sort of a de-facto tradition to cite the fact that you are posting because of the rule by adding the word “rule” cleverly (or, sometimes, not-so-cleverly) to the title
It is actually in the rules now
If you're talking about Lemmy's 196, it's not a rule and never was for us. "Post before you leave" is a "rule" but titling it rule is not. It's just an injoke.
It actually was, in one of the stickied posts. Looks like it's been replaced though.
