1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

A tolerance for the propagation of disinformation.
Room for disagreements is necessary, but so is stopping people who never cared about agreeing in the first place. Giving the dishonest this freedom has only silenced the honest by burdening them with layers of crap to cut through before their speech is heard.
"This." These comments add nothing to the discussion. I get that people want to show their support an argument/content, but that's what upvotes are for. If you want to show your support for something, then at least try to think of something worthwhile to add to the discussion while expressing your support.

Pun threads. They're not clever. They're the same, old, recycled jokes, and they just get progressively worse with every reply.
onlyfans plugs everywhere
ads, just that

First comment being, from a automateded bot.
/r/jailbait
Also no trophy's, ever. Unless it's like a Mario Kart Lemmy Tourney. Then sure. But for a sub like that? NOPE.
I couldn't see anyone else mentioning it so I will. Ads. My mind is at peace without them
People farming karma on subs like /r/aww.
Like not even reposters. I’m instead talking about the people who camp that sub and ruin threads by criticizing diet, etc.
If you post a photo of a dog that’s even slightly overweight, God have mercy on your cursed soul.

Power mods. Many of the ones who ran Reddit's biggest subreddits like iBleeedOrange and Awkwardtheturtle were major assholes.
I love megathreads for when I have to sleep through an event and I want a detailed recap
Stupid drama and community rivalries. And ads in apps.
Karma, and assholes who intentionally try and misrepresent an OP because he wasn't eating everyone's ass in the first post.
Power-tripping users that somehow have access to hundreds of sub-communities and lean heavily on automodding and just reacting by absolutes because they lack problem solving skills.
Shitty, unfunny jokes that spiral into lengthy comment chains that are a chore to weed through. Keep that shit on Reddit, because everyone pretends they're some downtrodden, unspoken stand up comedian on there.
Thought policing.
Word policing. Yeah I get that we shouldn't say n***** and stuff. But, why go through the trouble of censoring swears? I mean come on, we've grown up to have the privilege of airing those words out!
The general attitude that people have where they need to be right at all costs and will insult you for thinking otherwise.
Like, it's okay to admit that you're wrong and have your views changed.
An expensive API.
Toxic gatekeeping in communities.
Ads and rage bait content farm
people bot-posting for karma or similar bullshit
Politically motivated communities, even if the community has nothing to do with politics
c/Xporn when X is not sexual. Like r/foodporn, r/earthporn, or r/animalporn.
I can hope it won’t but I know it’s gonna happen anyway - the chronically online mentality that was everywhere on Reddit.
On reddit it always seemed like a lot of people (or at least the most vocal ones) never actually go outside and have this very idealized and unrealistic view on the world.
Comments that require a, "well, back on Reddit..." explanation. Could include comments about that guy's dead wife. That one kid's broken arms, etc.
