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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I came with the mass exodus in the spring of 2023 (used a .world account for a while before making this one). The handling of app developers was just a final straw for me; I had been a pretty prolific commentor, but the experience was getting worse and worse over the years. I started thinking about finding another place after that time Russia disconnected the country from the Internet for a day and Reddit was wonderful. Political discussions were friendly, trolls largely disappeared, and the whole site became much more left-leaning. I hate the feeling of being manipulated.
cool, btw wdym you had a .world before switching to this one?
The first account I made on Lemmy was on lemmy.world (same account name), but they had issues with uptime and response time for a while, so I made this one on Lemmy.ca. a nice feature of Lemmy is that you can make accounts on different instances and generally see all the same content (except for federation differences). If nothing else, it's good to have a backup account in case your instance goes down.
ah ok cool, i just wanted clarification
