I've seen a number of posts lately like "How to get yadda yadda yadda" but when you click, the content is actually a question about the subject line, which sucks.

If you're posting a question, please make it look like a question. It's EASY... Just put a QUESTION MARK at the end of your subject line. It looks like this:

My (non-english) native language uses the question mark, but many don't use it out of lazyness. I don't think this is a local issue. Also, are there really that many languages that do not use a question mark? I would have thought that is the rarity.

Besides, most english content I read on lemmy are not nearly that bad to justify that.

Fun fact: In Greek the question mark is ";".

I have to admit that I would have never imagined it's a different character than the semicolon if I hadn't seen those. That's bad optimization right there!

Interesting additional info: in Greek, the role of the semicolon is played by a floating period ·
