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 banned Reddit. No regrets.
I'm guessing your life got better after you stopped using it? Heh, maybe mine will
I'm trying really hard to see the upside of things. Like, maybe the fact that my life feels so empty now... just shows exactly how addicted to Reddit I was
I'll be completely real with you.
I'm not saying Lemmy is a magical world of unicorns and rainbows where everyone is bursting with love and respect, but my life, or at least the part of it I spent staring at my phone, DID get better.
I was subscribed to A LOT of Reddit drama subs. Originally, it was because I would be going through some shit and wanted to talk it out with others, but they stayed in my subscriptions and every day I found myself getting sucked into the drama of people I would never meet.
When I started my Lemmy account, it was a blank slate. I only added communities that were fun and interesting. Every now and then I get into some heated drama, but it's not as constant as it was on Reddit, and now, when I put my phone down, I just feel less angry and depressed than I did on Reddit.
Oh, and don't be afraid to block people that ruin your day.
i got sucked into some sub drama, and that got me banned, or my reporting people denied. like Youtube, livestream subs.
