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.

The people that use old.reddit are a very small minority, and many are likely already here.
I use Connect for Lemmy on my phone I switched from RIF.
I still use old.reddit on my PC though. If old.reddit shuts down I guess I will switch to Lemmy on PC.
Using boost after RIF went over to that authoritarian hell hole tildes...only time I'm on Reddit is using old.reddit as well. New reddit is just cancer.
That small minority being a surprisingly large chunk of their volunteer moderators, which is why old reddit isn't goin anywhere.
Would not be surprised if they are being dishonest about how many users are on old. I recall over a year or two ago reading a highly upvoted comment about it being less than 5% of all users, it might of been an Admin I don’t remember. New users I’ve shown old.reddit to are always so delighted. I’m sure it’s almost all OGs still on old though.
I modded some subreddits and before they fucked up traffic stats to not differentiate I can tell you that old (and new) was not putting up anywhere near the numbers of mobile. New had a lead over old but not a huge one.
EDIT: From a few years back - https://imgur.com/SJYWbQ5. I'm outing myself if someone does a bit of legwork, but IDGAF because I'm permabanned from reddit anyhow lol. Also, here's one from 9 months ago, though I don't remember the subreddit - https://imgur.com/FD0005K, and another from a year ago - https://imgur.com/9SBtazx
Hi! That's me! I'm already here!
That's my desktop setup for ages and ages.
Once old.reddit is gone I'll not go back
