Since it’s slightly less than easy to glean the rules from the sidebar, here’s an itemized collection of rules. For example, the schadenfreude rule can be referred to as a)1.
a) Posts must be uplifting.
- This excludes schadenfreude.[1]
b) Posts must not overtly deal with toxic politics.[1]
c) Links must not be low-effort.[1]
- Links must not go to a copy of a copy of a copy.
(Try finding the original source instead! Links do not have to be textual, so there’s no need to find a content farm to post a video.) - Posts must not be fake news.
d) Comments should foster open discussion.
- Negativity/spreading doom and gloom in comments is currently allowed.[2]
- Comments be civil and must not include personal attacks towards other commenters or non-public figures. (Swearing is allowed as long as it isn’t directed towards those.) Please engage with others’ points respectfully and fully.
The rest of the lemmy.world instance rules apply here as well.

If there’s something you think that should be on here but isn’t, feel free to say so!
I’d really like to see a time relevance rule.
Uplifting news from months or years ago isn’t what I’m looking for, I want to see the good happening in the world right now.
i think a lot of news from months ago has quite a bit of relevance to the current day, and i haven’t seen much posts about things that happened years ago. for the latter case i think it really depends on community sentiment reflected on the comments of said posts.
