Are there other 'hidden' rules for communities? (lemmy.ca)

Going through the sidebar all the rules are perfectly reasonable. Just curious if some communities implement additional rules in addition to the Lemmy.ca rules, and how would I go about knowing about them?

Guys, don't tell him about the hidden rule. He already broke it twice in this post, it's hilarious.

Now I'm worried.

One unspoken rule is that no, you can’t fish here

I get that a lot.

Many communities have additional rules.

If you go to the main page of the community, the additional rule(s)will be in the sidebar.

For example, if you go to !canada@lemmy.ca you'll see a single additional rule in the sidebar.
