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.

If there's one sympathy I have for Redditors (and others), is that switching to the FV and trying to have a 'Reddit-like' experience is not only a bumpy learning curve for most, but in some ways simply impossible, based on various types of communities and content simply not being here. Or not being here nearly to their satisfaction.
I'm not saying that's a great excuse (because it isn't IMO), but to me it kinda reflects the level of effort many (or most?) Redditors are willing to spend, like it or not. Not unlike, say... the willingness to educate themselves on various political parties and figures such that they can make smart voting decisions.
Anyway, maybe we've been kind of hamstrung here by the fact that big social media's 'one stop shopping' experience over the space of ~two decades has succeeded in producing a sort of jaded and entitled user-base, emotionally & psychologically unwilling to expand their boundaries in certain ways. Meanwhile, if something like the Fediverse had come along around the time of BBS's or early web days, I'm thinking it would have been much more of a sensation, with loads more people willing to approach it in a much more open-minded way. *shrug*
