Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
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.

Made my first Lemmy account after this bullshit! Took a split second to figure out, but Lemmy seems super rad so far!
Welcome to Lemmy!
Thanks!
Lemmy tell you, you made the right choice.
😂 thank you!!!
It's a familiar enough looking place, with some good discussions. But what's super cool - at least to me - is that "Lemmy" isn't just Lemmy. There are people here using websites running all sorts of engines. Mbin is a different reddit-like platform that cross-communicates with Lemmy. Friendica is a Facebook-like engine that can talk with Lemmy. NodeBB is a traditional forum. Mastodon, Misskey, and Akkoma are Twitter-like platforms that can show up here, too.
It's a mesh network, with each node having different strengths and weaknesses, different UIs and UXes, and different rules and goals.
It's both familiar, and also something totally different, both at the same time.
Welcome to the wilderness!
This sounds super interesting - I understand a lot of what you said, but maybe not all of it.
Any recommendations for learning about this cross-platform integration?
Is it simply something like cross-posting to a different site? I like how Lemmy seems a lot more “web 1.0-2.0”’ish, but I’m left wondering what I am still missing. Thanks!
I think this is what confuses me, like, how? If Lemmy is like reddit and Mastadon is like Twitter how do they talk to each other. Do you follow someone on Mastadon via lemmy and then their "tweets" just show up on your front page?
