I'm here from Reddit. They banned me for absolutely no reason. That's frustrating. How works Lemmy ?

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling 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
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

You'll see a lot of horny posts here too. Block the communities as they appear and it'll calm down.
You can also block just single users.
Blocking is temporary and one-way. It only means you don't see them or their content. More of a "hide", really.
At least that's my understanding.
You can block users, communities, and instances (maybe only instances can block entire instances?).
There really aren't a lot of hornyposting on here though. There's basically zero OF and the only hornyposters are people doing it by hand, themselves, and are usually jokes, rather than pure thirst. Like I can name the only two users offhand that some people complain about, but if you really don't like their content, you have all the power and right to just block them yourself.
There was also the nsfw instance, but I'm not sure if that even exists anymore. Last I saw years ago, it was basically only bots, and a few instances (incl mine) blocked it, so I literally don't even know if it still exists.
