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 made a couple baseball buddies on Lemmy. Niche communities on Lemmy aren't pointless.
I'll agree to that. It's just the first part where you are the only person sucks. Specifically with local communities.
The birding community is active enough for me. Honestly, I dont want modern day reddit experience in my niche communities. Theyre... Disrespectful? Lots of armchair experts who parrot internet takes and philosophies to get massive upvotes, and the hive mind mentality downvotes counter perspective. I love fly fishing, but damn do I hate the fly fishing subreddits.
I'll agree to that. Hobby communities on reddit are typically newbies repeating information they read elsewhere on repeat. I've been playing high level hockey since I was a kid and I'll take a peak at the hockey players subreddit. I saw a guy who had been playing for a year telling someone who was brand new to the sport about kick points on a stick. This guy will never reach a level where kick points are something that will affect your shot, but he's out here giving advice.
Don't even get me started on the cycling subreddit.
