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.

The big social media platforms made it easy to join and easy enough for your parents and friends to use even if they weren't techies. The Fediverse isn't hard to join, in the sense you can easily create an account some place, but it tends to be narrowly focused. Trying to explain to grandma that she needs to join a Mastodon instance for sewing but a different instance for knitting is going to be difficult when she can stay on Facebook and have both in one place. Something like Lemmy does help in these cases in the sense that there are multiple communities available to you from a single account. But that "everyone I know is here" feeling seems like it's going to be a thing of the past.
Am I missing something? I thought Mastodon worked just like lemmy where you can subscribe cross-instance
You can subscribe to an account on another instance, but you can't get all of the posts on another instance without having an account on that instance.
