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.

No, it's all good. Yours was the millionth time the question was asked, so instead of an answer you'll get everyone jumping down you throat to "just do a search."
Your search results will return the previous 999,999,999 times the question was asked, and also the same chorus of "just search," but not the answer. And it's no good just scrolling to the oldest result, because that time the question was not answered. You need to land somewhere near the hundredth repetition, which was the one where somebody answered the question, but after when nobody answered the question, and also before everyone got tired of the question.
"But we have THREADS in Discord now! It's so much better! Especially because no one reads or posts to them!"
I hate when it also feels like you're butting into a conversation with some "locals" by asking a question. Lol
Like with a forum you could just open up with "Hey guys, so I tried to do this and... thanks for any help!"
But in Discord you feel so awkward just hopping into "#general" because it's the project's only support board and going "HEY I TRIED THIS AND IT'S NOT WORKING ANY IDEAS?" as their chat about local weather scrolls your request away. Lmao
