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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Rally to restore sanity was a blast. The whole reddit team (myself included, at the time) were there, and Raldi wrote a neat little QR code network feature, where you could scan other redditor's QR codes, and after it was done we released a graph showing the network effects, who met whom at the rally, or the minor rallies across the country.
That was back when reddit was actually fun. I can't imagine, nor would I attend, any modern rally event with the purpose of meeting redditors
That must have been an interesting time to be part of the team there! Reddit was an amazing site back in the day, and it's a tragedy that so much good and interesting "internet firsts" that it did/enabled are being lost now with the crap.
There's no obligation, but the lemmy/kbin github projects might get some use out of your knowledge. They're a bit overwhelmed right now and everyone has differing ideas of how to do stuff like deal with bots, brigading, etc.
Unfortunately I missed out on the QR code thing, but I did manage to snag one of the last shirts! Colbert's (I think it was Colbert's letter on the back) writing team really went overboard on weaving memes into his "letter", but that was totally in line with online culture of the time.
