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.

Yeah, Lemmy is way more politically left than Reddit, this post isn't going to last very long here.
Like, the average Lemmy user is a Linux Obsessed Trans Communist that works in IT. Any user that is outside of that is most likely a minority on Lemmy. If you thought Lemmy was going to be less politically charged, I am sorry to say you won't be finding less politics here than on Reddit.
Lemmy has zero chill even if you are a leftist, it's like zero fun to post here, I tend to just lurk
I think whats frustrating is that when the Great Migration was happening from Reddit, people telling Redditors to go to Lemmy were advertising it like a place that was more politically neutral than Reddit. So when people come over expecting that kind of community only to realize they were lied to, that makes it very frustrating.
I know thats what happened to me when I first learned about Lemmy, and it was not fun. I don't post political stuff, but I thought I wasn't going to keep seeing it everywhere. My feed is like a ghost town now though, because I just instantly ban communities or users I see posting that stuff. I don't care, I don't want to see it. Yall can talk about it without me.
Same thing happened on my old account, no content after blocked everything that annoys me. Don't want to hear about how much you hate cars in every single thread, it's boring
Other problem is no matter what you post it gets downvoted, and that's why when I get access to reddit again I'll bail on lemmy because there's no chance of it growing. This is like leftist 4chan and it's tiresome to post here; never going to get new people this way
Honestly you hit the nail on the head with the "leftist 4chan" bit. I'm not someone who chases up votes or anything, but I do like when I see my comments resonate with other people and get the "agreement vote." That doesn't happen here.
Especially in the gaming communities of Lemmy the users are so hateful towards literally any upcoming "AAA+" game that gets posted about. Like you can't even say you think something looks fun without a bunch of people just coming to downvote you or give you shit for daring to announce that you're excited for something new.

Boy you're so ideologically confused.
This community is on .world, we'll see
I mean more that it was going to get downvoted and OP might delete it themselves, I wasn't really talking about moderation in this particular community, which does a pretty good job from what I have seen.
Yeah downvoting doesn't help change someone's opinion it just makes them angry lol, that's why lemmy will die
I personally hide downvotes for this reason
Yeah it helps but it's not set by default which is my main criticism, newcomers do not stick around here
You can do that?
From version 0.19.4, yes.
Your instance isn't there yet, hopefully in the coming weeks.
Wasn't reddit similar but insane and toxic people
I've seen a few toxic profiles on Lemmy so far
Same
Come on. Stop exaggerating. First of all surely that has to at least be limited to certain communities. Secondly, how can the "average" person be such an extreme? Like, what are the outliers in that sample data?!
I've seen some pretty hard right trolls on here since joining up. Not many, but a few.
But are they also trans and Linux-obsessed working in IT?
