    The only unwritten rule I know of is “be civil”. I’ve yet to see those typical reddit replies of: “You’re wrong about everything and should die you fucking bag of cunt hammers!” (Except from the guy that will respond to this post with that exact phrase)

        Yes, you’re right, but I think Lemmy culture adds an unwritten “don’t be an overly aggressive asshole” on top of it. (Unless that’s also explicitly written)

    It’s not really a rule exactly but you don’t need to be on the most popular instance. Literally doesn’t matter what instance you’re on as long as you’re not on one of the right wing ones that ban everyone. It’s better for the community to have everyone be on lots of smaller instances because it decreases the centralization, which of course is the entire point.
