I assumed that this was standard behaviour/etiquette, though I’m realizing maybe it’s actually not so common, and I want to know if I’m the weird one
If you don’t- why not?

“If you do, why” is a better question. And frankly, neither version really tells anyone anything.
People don’t check largely because Lemmy UI isn’t designed for the community to be a prominent thing, and being a member isn’t required by the app for someone to reply.
I assume this is being asked because of the earlier thread about “read the community rules before posting”… As someone else already said, make it private if you don’t want the public responding.
I literally cannot comprehend why you wouldn’t look at the community name before commenting. Do you not read titles either? What kind of life are you people living- it genuinely baffles me
I engage with content on my feed. The titles are prominent, the community name less so. If content seems extremely contextual, I’ll probably check, but otherwise I just engage with the content and comments.
It was surprisingly hard at one time to get both the poster and community to show up in Voyager. I spent about half an hour figuring out the settings to make it happen. Between shitpost, Onion, and NotTheOnion communities, and the amount of overlap between posts in them, I find that vital context in many posts.
I’m reading the post and looking at the pretty image if there is one.
If the post sounds like a shit post, I do check the community to see if it is likely to be ironic, but otherwise no.
STFU.
I see a title that I may have an opinion or quip to leave in comments.
I do NOT care what community/group it belongs in.
You mean this isn’t woodshop class?
Why even have communities if nobody is going to respect the individual culture and purpose of them?
Content filtering.
