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

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 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 visit it for a couple of subs that are not active on here. For the most part it feels the same. I never really cared for the karma system, gold, etc. So switching to Lemmy for me was more about just trying to find a place not being bombarded by ads, bots, and corporate policies.
I think reddit will survive the Exodus of users simply because Twitter is so badly managed that reddit may actually supplant it for a while. However, the drive to monetize all aspects of our lives is actually getting some push back from users so Lemmy may continue to grow in the next few years.
The biggest issues facing Lemmy isn't content though. It's ease of adoption.
God yes the ads, I just hate how every corner of our existence is being filled with ads. And if it's not an official ad or "sponsored post" it's someone trying to sell stickers on their Etsy or a t shirt bot spamming all and every subreddit. I just really hope those sort of things don't invade here.
If you have been using an adblocker for years and turn it off for a moment, you really see how fucking bad it has become. It's almost like a dystopian movie.
But if you use an adbwockew then I can’t suwvive…

An advertisment filled dystopian movie? That's the exact opposite of my new movie, "Barbie", only in theaters July 21st.
What, no product placement, even? But how will I know what kind of flavored seltzer will make me pretty if I don’t see what Barbie drinks?!
It's going to be Barbie-que sauce flavored.
…well played, lol. Although now I’m imagining liquid smoke flavor in a cold beverage, and I feel extremely conflicted about it.
It tastes like Worcestershire sauce, so tamarind and anchovies.
Actually, I could see that tasting pretty good, if it was served cold. Add tomato juice and vodka, and it would be like a fizzy Bloody Mary.
I use DNS black holes, adblockers, and I host all of my own media content. I rarely, if ever, see ads.
I will just stop viewing content if I have to go back to watching ads, it's that simple. I can't do it.
I can't even watch TV with my parents on the Tivo anymore. Even fast forwarding through the ads is tedious and makes me angry.
Same. I consider anything I pay for adblock services an investment in my health.
