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.

MODERATORS
I’m not spending much time on Reddit these days but in no way is this the end for Reddit. The VAST majority of the user base just doesn’t care. We may see more users trickling in and Lemmy is sure more ready now than ever but people are so used to being advertised to, that this won’t be a big issue long term. People are dumb.
Idk man, literally asked a bunch (3) of friends how reddit is lately who had no idea what was going on this summer with the API changes and didn't care when I told them. Here are there responses:
"They've gotten really bad at putting relevant shit in front of me"
"Been a ton more ads lately"
And
"dude thank you for telling me reddit had porn lol"
There's what now?!
I always wondered if there were people oblivious to porn on reddit. It always seemed like common knowledge those days.
It's not the usual manufactured porn by companies, it's usually people showcasing a video of themselves.
A lot of people's approach to social media is
login an absolute total of times equal to one, on an app, and never again, that session better last
do zero content curation, what comes is what you eat
mostly scroll past shit, don't interact, don't produce
maybe click on a navigation link once or twice per month
So of course they don't know there's porn. They're basically only seeing their feed (which is a clone of /r/popular, so a bunch of clones of /r/funny and ragebait) and the default subs, which doesn't have porn by default ever since reddit removed its ability to show up on default feeds.
I meant more around "reddit is known for having porn channels" and less "reddit pushes porn in your default feeds".
You're right though, the casual dead-minded scroller wouldn't know about it.
It used to be moreso, but before i left reddit it turned into people spamming promoting their onlyfans accounts, some subs felt like scrolling through a gallery of ads.
