But aren’t jokes supposed to be like, funny or something?

Yep. 196 communities are getting pretty highly upvoted too which is why you’re seeing them so much when browsing all.
I mean they're also one of the main meme communities atm. Most of the other ones don't have near as much traffic
I thought I also saw, at some point, a post saying the only rule was your post had to have "rule" somewhere in the title. (Probably in response to people making their required one post and already putting rule in the title). And after that I feel like I saw a lot more posts with rule in the title.
