At least 3/5 times, my post gets removed either because:

  • it violates some subsection of some dot point in those extensive sidebar rules that I didn’t study thoroughly enough, or

  • some mod decides it would be better if I posted as a comment in their dedicated mega thread on the subject, or

  • the Automoderator removed it without explanation, and the mods are all currently on holiday or too busy to GAF.

Anyone else have this problem? And is lemmy any better?

    You should still read the rules. There’s a general ettiquite, but there’s no universal thing that will ensure your post will belong on every instance/community.

    However, unlike Reddit you can edit titles and everything about the post. So if it is rule-breaking something minor and the mods tell you what you need to change, you can fix it easily.
