Is there a list somewhere? Are the rules different per instance?? I see:

Comment removed:

Rule 1.

I see this all the time, but I don’t know what rule 1 is. (Not me by the way, though I’ve had a few comments removed here and there)

Is there somewhere I can see where these rules are?

    No, no global list. There’s not really a provision for that. It’s just convention for community owners and site admins to list them in the sidebar.

    Snooped on the modlog, and Ask Lemmy does have its rules in the sidebar. Depending on what UI you use (and whether you’re on desktop /mobile), it may or may not be visible.

    Ask Lemmy’s rule #1 is this:

    Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

    On LW, their site rules are laid out in the terms of service (linked above). Usually when a submission runs afoul of those, the mod text will reference that rather than a rule number.
