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 am the moderator of a small (~1.9k subscribers) subreddit and I haven't made the switch yet. I will eventually, but at the moment I feel like I have not gathered enough information in order to completely migrate my community off-site for a) archival purposes and b) functional parity purposes and I feel like taking the subreddit offline without having a solid migration plan will just result in the community dissolving entirely.
it's a subreddit that's pretty unique,but niche at the same time - it follows the releases of underground/unsigned/indie music acts in a certain Asian country (it's not hard to discern what I'm talking about if you look hard enough) and whilst there are other sites on the internet that do the same thing, I feel like what I've built on Reddit is unique enough in the as a link aggregating format with search functionality.
sure, I could work at manually posting everything that was ever posted to the subreddit to a new lemmy server, but I'm just one guy, and alas, the chronological documentation will be messed up, which I'd like to preserve as best as possible.
so at the moment, I am thinking about moving my subreddit off the site, but I'm waiting for some utility tools to help me do that.
You should think about making your own site with all the historic reddit data. Something like a static site generator so you can host it for almost free
I've been looking for exactly that. And you say that there are other sites for such a thing? It would be cool if you had a site that was basically automated to make redundant the posts on your subreddits, and hopefully federated communities, so that you'll retain the data in the case a website/instance ever dies.
