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

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.

Finally tried the official Reddit app. It's as bad as they say.
No no no. No. Never used the official app, but man.. this is sad as hell. Just pulling up the screenshot made me scared my laptop was about to be bricked.
There’s zero chance I’m installing that app. Reddit is officially a cash grab that doesn’t deserve one letter of my content.
Prior to the whole API debacle, I loved Reddit and used it daily.
BTW, I still won’t use Sony products to this day because they put rootkits on their audio CDs to prevent piracy.
For me it was Sony's constant use of proprietary media. MemoryStick my ass!
This comment gets funnier if you read "MemoryStick" as a verb
I usually find the app and the web site are usually essentially the same on most platforms, plus most apps are designed for data farming, so to me, most apps are moot in function, and nothing but a security hole. You're going to have to do better than just not interrupting me as I come in to announce your app to get me to use it.
I tried it about 4 times, thinking I was missing something. How on earth could something so bad, possibly be popular? But I realised I'd just got used to RIF. The official app is absolutely dire.
The ad takes up more than half the screen lmfao
I'd legitimately never seen what the Reddit app looks like as I always used RIF but good grief it's actually somehow worse than I'd been led to believe.
Someone should file a bug report, some content accidentally got displayed instead of more ads...
High quality advertisers...
I thought this was rhe YouTube app at first glace. Damn, as a boost user I wasn't aware how bad it is.
I'm so glad to be out of that hell.
I haven’t been on that app for years but ouch, does it look bad
Is this bait? I don't really get ads on the reddit app, but then again I patched it with Revanced manager.
Wow they oops forgot their forum is an empty box without its users' input. Way to chase any sane user away
The ad is too small. They need to make it much bigger to maximize profit
"Please plug in an external monitor to display all ads properly."
Way to pick the busiest screen. Popular? Who uses that option anyway... has that Trending panel at the top making it look like a circus. App defaults to Home, which is much cleaner. Nice you picked the absolute worst screen possible.
