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.

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 joined lemmy when they killed Apollo. Should have done it so much sooner, this is way better!
Before Reddit killed Apollo, Lemmy was really lacking in daily content. Now we've reached a point where I can open the app multiple times a day and see new content.
I think there were a lot of issues around trending older posts eclipsing newer posts meaning older posts stayed on the front page too long. That seems to have improved recently though
It was the same for me. I think joined the same day. To be honest, I haven't looked back at reddit. I enjoy the communities here, and some devs to great work on apps like memmy and mlem. Both feature a lot of Apollo App.
Same, but Boost for me.
boost gang rise up
We up in here
I quit the moment Baconreader could no longer fetch API and deleted my 10 yr account. Lemmy is amazing, especially in its potential down the road in my view.
I only used Reddit thanks to Sync. Credit to the dev as they announced they were moving to Lemmy as part of their last update. I thought, what is Lemmy? Let me try it out.
Now I'm here. If it wasn't for Spez being an idiot killing the APIs, I wouldn't have known Lemmy existed. So for the first and only time, that's Spez for encouraging me find something better.
Something hilarious that I discovered: If you still have an old copy of Alien Blue on your phone, it still works. Haven't tried all the functions but I guess the API key must be the same as the official app (since they bought it and just started working on it).
I'm staying off reddit because my big mad protest will surely convince a corporation not to ruin itself by having no decent plan to become profitable (ha), but if you're looking to still browse with a not shitty app it might still be working lol
