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.

No offense but I've seen this exact thing being said for like the past 10 years lol.
There was never a viable alternative before now.
I'm not convinced the fediverse is a practical alternative for the masses to move to, at all.
I think Lemmy is better anyway with a smaller user base.
lemmy is but one small corner of the fediverse
Yes I am aware of that. I was indeed talking about the fediverse as a whole and not just Lemmy. That's why I said I'm not convinced the fediverse is a viable alternative.
i feel the opposite. the point of the fediverse is mass expansion.
youre right, the fediverse is not the solution for a small community. you want small, phpbb is ready for you.
The point is mass adoption. The reality is that it's not ready or not current feasible for mass adoption.
the reality is its brand freakin new. it took decades for email to become ubiquitous. it took decades for reddit to gather its user base.
pointing out that the fediverse is still rough around the edges for newbs is like point out that infants cant eat steak.
I'm not sure why you are explaining to me what is already obvious. I merely stated that the fediverse isn't currently a viable alternative for the masses. You seem to agree based on your comment above?
I don’t know about that when there is still many improvements to be made for each platform.
