The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I’ve had my account for almost 15 years. I’m a top contributor. I feel like the entire site is just filled with freaking bots now. I hate to sound like an old person yelling about the changes, but I always thought of Reddit as the Internet “TRL“ if anybody remembers that show from MTV. But just like everything else in this country, it’s becoming more and more commercialized and the freedom that once was Reddit is nearly close to gone.
Someone in the thread about this on Reddit mentioned Lemmy and I’m hoping That this is a new place to go. Been using Reddit for so long. I don’t know where else to go.
Lemmy is great because there is a lot of redundancy of having multiple community ran instances instead of a centralized platform like reddit has.
I've moved over two Lemmy two months (I got the feeling that I needed a Reddit alternative).
I still visit Reddit for more niche content, but for many things Lemmy works fine.
That being said, Lemmy is a lot smaller than Reddit. I believe Lemmy (all instances) only have 50K DAUs, while Reddit has 73 million DAUs, so a lot of things will be missing.
Welcome to Lemmy!
