Mlem dev here. Mlem has some logic that looks through the community/instance description, and tries to extract the rules list. If it’s able to find the rules, it displays them as options in the report sheet:
At the moment, Mlem fails to recognize the formatting that lemy.lol uses. I’ve added a fix for this, so it’ll work properly for lemy.lol in the next version. The “he’s just a chill guy” image was confusing our parsing logic :)
It would be nice if there was a standardized way to do this, I agree. Reddit gave communities a dedicated “rules list” field, separate from the description field, which would have made this easier.
Thanks, we’ll be keeping an eye on this 👀
