YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
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 non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer 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.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
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- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Some people might do that. But lemmy.world is a very well run community that has never done anything offensive, and yet it's still defederated by some of the biggest lemmy instances.
That proves defederation is for more than just spam/illegal content/harassment.
I thought only beehaw.org defederated it?
Yeah, they're the one that makes you answer 3 vague open end questions and then manually approve it.
If you don't write enough, or write something they dont agree with... You dont get denied, it's just like it's still pending indefinitely.
Lemmy.world requires a valid email instead (something beehaw doesn't).
There's no right or wrong way to go about it. Which is the biggest benefit of Lemmy. Somewhere out there, there's an instance being ran like how you want, if not, just make your own.
I'd say that leaving your request pending forever is definitely the wrong way They are trying to hide their rejections
But the great thing about federated instances is that even if you are wronged, you have options You're never between a rock and a hard place
What I plan to do is just create accounts in the server I'm interested in, and link between accounts so people know I'm the same person. It even works as a backup
There will be instances that will delete your account if you have an account at other instances, however my life experience is that I'm better without the kind of people who does that so their self-revelation as such an agent is also a plus
