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.

Just signed up here. I had my account flagged for upvoting on Reddit. Needless to say I was POed but so far I'm liking it here
Welcome friend. Lemmy is a nice place.
No, it is an open place where CCP shills and Nazis and good people can all say what they want, filter what they don't, and communicate without shitty corporate overlords or trash mods having all the power.
If you're going to be negative about people welcoming newcomers, you don't have to comment. I thought I left all that behind on reddit.
Putting "CCP shills" and Nazis together like that is a hell of a choice.
i came after part of the reddit february ban wave.
How did you find Lemmy, out of curiosity? Seems like there aren’t a lot of Reddit recs for it yet.
i heard it about over the API thing like 2 years ago, then forgot it. got sitewide ban 99% of my accts meant for different subreddits, and came here, after i remember lemmy. im on LEMMY and on another forum(meant for people who evaded bans and got sitewide banned, and i noticed some got banned for no reason as well.
Not that person, but I found out about lemmy from reddit. There are people talking about it when this kind of stuff comes up.
Honestly googled Reddit alternatives and the first search was from Reddit discussing Lemmy. Took a peek and now I'm here. I like Lemmy, just communities are a hit or miss due to inactivity.
Agreed about the inactivity but hopefully more users make the transition as reddit continues to filter people out
I actually heard about it a while back after the whole API block but never made the transition over till now
