I want to familiarise my self with the rules and workings of this app/ website how moderation is done and etc so I can be extra careful
Right now don’t worry to much about how things work behind the scenes too much. Just know that if you end up not liking how lemmy.world is run (for example, if you want piracy communities in your feed) you can go somewhere else and still access communities made on lemmy.world

Reddit’s a shithole now. I got a 7 day sidewide ban for criticizing trump. Deleted my account and now I’m here
The mice are running the litterbox over there, indeed.
Reddit is a complete and utter shithole.
This. I’ve had a Lemmy account for a while but reddit suspended me yesterday for calling someone stupid - after they made disparaging remarks about someone else. Their account was untouched. I know because I saw posts dated after my suspension.
I don’t know if Lemmy will work out or not, but Reddit has proven they’re not fit to moderate any significant portion of the web’s content and I can’t be bothered to consume and contribute in that environment any longer. I submitted an account deletion request with an extra slice of my mind on the matter.
Lemmy is a nice place but they won’t fucking arrest you if you use some swears :smiles:
But if you’re on lemmy.ml they will filter them. But no one is forcing you to sign up there.
STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!
Do you solemnly swear that you will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
Ok, can do: Fuck.
I’ve got an f-word as well: removed
EDIT: all I wanted to say was colloquial British name for cigarette, but lemmy.world has this word filtered lol
Thankfully I’ve got a spare account on lemm.ee
Off the back of this one, worth noting that censored words vary per-instance. Some will censor the B word for example, whereas others won’t
I feel like the general vibe is “have fun, and don’t be a piece of shit”. I’m enjoying my refugee status so far
Welcome don’t be a dick and you’ll be ok
Have a look at the starting guide: https://lemmy.world/post/37906
Welcome!
Fuck extra careful, for me that was part of leaving Reddit way too much overzealousness when it came to moderation, plus Spez is a piece of shit
Think of Lemmy as Reddit the site that you browse, when you sign up to an instance it’s like you are on their personal website that just shows you the webpage so lemmy.world shows you the same Lemmy website that lemmy.ca shows you the only differences are you go by their rules/moderation on that instance, there is more to it but I’m just giving a basic picture of it when it comes to moderation and rules
You set up an account on lemmy.world read the sidebar, if the rules aren’t to your liking try another instance I like sh.itjust.works cuz they aren’t tight asses
Howdy.
Each instance has their own admin rukes and further each community has their own too.
You’re on lemmy.world but you can still I subscribe and interact with communities created elsewhere
Instances are similar to subreddits?
No. Instance is like the full Reddit website, subreddits are communities here that are hosted in those instances. Check this comment, is very illustrative.
How do you like it so far
download an app, for android i’ll recommend Connect. I’ve heard great things about voyager for Apple but not sure.
