The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions 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 and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, 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.

Using lemmy most of the time since the blackout. Kinda hard not to feel guilty now when I scrolled aimlessly on reddit. Now I only go there to find specific things. But ngl really miss having moment of discovery when I stumbled upon something while I browse reddit, since the amount of content here is limited.
Only open reddit by accident and muscle memory. Need to find time to read/save the "saved". Right after that will Art. 17 GDPR my account.
I'm weaning off gradually until the inevitable closing of RiF. Since the lock down I have only lurked there to follow the current drama and to figure out what I even needed it for. Whenever I see anything of interest on Reddit I'll look it up here instead. I don't want to participate on Reddit anymore. Their users have been quite hostile and I don't really care what they think about anything. It's a little sad to see a few clueless new users there asking genuine questions about something that I'd usually answer, but even if I want to help that person, I just don't want to contribute for free on Reddit anymore. I don't mind helping for free, but if Spez wants to get paid, then he'd better work for the money himself.
I have been on reddit more but with ublock origin installed and only to post John Oliver and to help with the protest. When the month is over I wont be posting any more to reddit.

I deleted my Reddit account after that idiot's comments about "landed gentry". Still trying to wrap my head around the fediverse!
For me, there's not enough activity on here yet and still some subreddits that haven't got equivalents here.
Yup just got here. Never heard of this site u til yesterday on Reddit LOL
I haven't been on Reddit for a bit now. I think more people will switch when July 1st hits.
Used to binge Reddit all day everyday. Now it’s Lemmy/Kbin instead and haven’t even thought going back to Reddit.
Yeah I stopped using Reddit when the boycott started and don't plan on going back(went back to add nonsense to my old comments). Hoping to see a larger migration as well.
I check back in periodically, but I'm making an effort to participate on here as much as possible. Loving it so far. Yeah, there are still a few kinks to be worked out, but overall the transition has been seemless to me.
The biggest issue I have come across is trying to wrap my head around instances and how to browse what where.
I dowloaded Jerboa and started on lemmy.world, and when I found out about all the others instances and different sites to browse and subscribe to.
Im sure with some more time, I'll get a handle on it.
No, I haven't spent any time on Reddit since the closure, except for looking at r/Pics and their John Oliver err, protest. I haven't spent too much time on Lemmy though, that's because I've been busy helping out with an app for it :P
Only came back to reddit to edit my profile stating where Ive switched to (kbin in my case).
Left one comment on a post asking for advice telling them an answer was posted on the subs's kbin equivallent.
Other than that, I don't plan to log back in, and if I need to search something I do it adding https://reddit.adminforge.de/
I stopped using Reddit on the day of the blackout and I've been wasting my time with playing sudoku instead. I go on lemmy a few times a day because I switched out Jerboa on my RIF shortcut and I go on it out of boredom.
I'm like many here. I used Reddit Is Fun for all my Reddit consumption. If that's gone, so am I. While I enjoyed Reddit, I'm not opposed to the idea of changing it up with Lemmy even if it is different. Different is good actually! If you've been on Reddit for long enough you'll see that it's just the same questions, posts, and comments over and over.
The only thing I look at on reddit now is save3rdpartyapps for updates, and check my 3rd party app subreddit from news from the dev hoping he announces a Lemmy app.
This is coming from someone with a severe reddit addiction where minutes couldn't pass without opening the app lol. 13 year old account.
Thanks for curing my addiction spez!
Im on Lemmy for 95% of stuff, only go back to Reddit for wikis on subreddits like r/AsianBeauty and r/BodyweightFitness. I don’t participate at all on there, I’m just there for the wiki. Huge transition tbh considering that l used Reddit for a lot of basic questions I had: cooking, fitness, career, etc etc. When I’m using it to answer questions as fundamental as those I’d say it used to play a huge role in my daily routine.
I never looked back after the blackout, so yes. The first couple days were rough, but now this is home :)
I'm working on transitioning over. I mean all the subreddits I follow are hard to just replace on a whim but slowly I'm getting there. Probably gonna download one of the phone apps for lemmy too.
Right now its hard because you are going from a site with a lot of people posting all the time, and here its a lot fewer people contributing.
I quit reddit. It feels nice. Lemmy feels less toxic.
Pretty much haven't gone back to reddit at all. I've been trying to transfer to Lemmy, but getting much of my scrolling fix off instagram nowadays.
My only traffic to Reddit in over a week was search based. My only engagement was here and Facebook.
I miss Relay something awful. The mobile lemmy site has some strong inconveniences, the mobile app is missing some outright features.
I'd still rather be here than there.
I purposely have started spending more time on Lemmy. After the recent drama I decided that I didn’t want to give Reddit any more of my time and have stopped using the site completely. Not sure Lemmy will be the successor, but its not to bad although mobile ui is worse than the reddit app.
