Any recommendations for generic rules?

I've been creating communities that I noticed were missing, but didn't add any rules or anything. Just focused on content creation.

Edit: I settled on this:

Rules:

  1. No bigotry: Including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.
  2. Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.
  3. No NSFW content.
  4. No Ads / Spamming.
  5. Be thoughtful and helpful: even with ‘stupid’ questions. The world won’t be made better or worse by snarky comments schooling naive newcomers on Lemmy.

Feel free to use it.

At first I found skeletal communities strange and annoying, but now I consider them to be a way to quickly get a foundation. 🦴

Do communities in a particular instance follow the rules of that instance? Maybe could copy-paste those or a link to those, if they exist? 🤔

I edited the post, found some generic rules and added that. :)
