The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

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.

Welcome! We don't have pedos, but we do have our fair share of extremist leftists. I'd advice against visiting communities on the hexbear and lemmygrad instances if you are not pro-communism/russia/china.
Furthermore you might want to read up on the idea of "instances" and what makes the fediverse different from lemmy. It helps explain how communities work here, but you can also just figure it out on the go.
The lemmy.ml instance, for example, is the OG instance. It has a few far-left communities and users, but plenty of a-political communities and user as well.
My isntance, sh.itjust.works, is a general-purpose instance based in Canada.
You're on PieFed, which is different from Lemmy for some reason haha.
As far as I can tell, Piefed exists because some people didn't like that the lemmy devs are communists.
I haven't looked into piefed, I'm exclusively going off what pro-piefed/anti-lemmy users have said.
Isn’t the UI very similar or am I missing something? I didn’t see any major differences when initially comparing them except PieFed having some more features like reactions and cross post comment loading (which I don’t think is a thing in Lemmy?). I have mostly used PieFed since then though.
