That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

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.

Hello I'm very new. Why not Lemmy.World?
The idea being that reddit is one centralized service, with one "instance" and therefore if Spez says fuck you, you don't have much recoarse.
Whereas on Lemmy, there's many instances. So if the crowd spreads out evenly, no single instance gets too big, and therefore too powerful.
If the instance owner of Lemmy.world tells me to go fuck myself, I can tell him to go fuck themself. I can just go to lemm.ee or sht.jstworks (or however they spell it), or I could even interact with Lemmy from another service entirely. I could go to mbin, or piefed. Actually I have accounts on both that I don't use.
After picking Lemmy.World innitially I tried a few others, but didn't see the need to switch. Mostly I'm looking for a good stable instance that isn't going anywhere. Which Lemmy.World fills those boxes.
But that doesn't mean other people are wrong with what I've said. I appriciate all the people on other instances because choice makes monopolies disappear.
I'm sorry, I misinterpreted you saying "I chose world" as a negative thing.
I'm also on World and I like it a lot!
It was important to me to find a place that was similar enough to reddit to let my transition be easier. I've been on reddit for like 14 years and I just wanted an alternative that is close to what I knew.
I like world a lot, but in general I like the whole idea of the Fediverse.
Well, it's not the instance itself that I'm playing up as a negative. It's my reasoning without hearing any other arguement on the subject before making my decision. Which is pretty much how I made that choice. I wanted the default Lemmy. Well, there is no default. So I picked the biggest because it was the biggest, and therefore the closest thing to a default.
And a lot of people here don't like the fact that was how my decision making process went due to not knowing what a fediverse was. I STILL wouldn't say I'm proficient at using peertube. I "get" it, but I'd still say I'm right back to not knowing which instance to sign up for. Especially since on peertube it matters a lot more.
I'm also still trying to learn all this stuff. I've never even heard of Peertube.
