All 5 rules of r/ObsidianMD
- Be nice to everyone
We want to make this community as inclusive as possible. The mods generally take a very liberal opinion of what defines "being nice", but here's a quick check: if someone said to you in the street the thing you're about to post, would it make you feel bad? Then it's not very nice, is it? - Memes go in the meme subreddit, not here
Obsidian memes should go to r/ObsidianMDMemes, not here. Please put them there so all your humor needs are fulfilled with one stop. - Don’t shill
