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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Reddit has been a dumpster fire of heavy-handed bans, and refusal of mod transparency or appeal, for a while now. It started when they closed off the API against third-party mod tools. It won't get better anytime soon. Glad you're here in the Lemmyverse instead.
It sounds more like this is a mod issue. There's nothing at all stopping the same mods from coming here.
So the sense of superiority there is misplaced imo. I've seen enough bad mods and anti AI opinions here that I wouldn't be surprised at all if OP ran into the exact same issue here as well.
AI chat MC (Microsoft Copilot) guided me here, I have many dreams for online accounts alternative paths no longer needing usernames so a person can leave delete their account and someday return using their own name if they want as my Lemmy profile states I fight for digital rights, the permanence of accounts feels unnecessary uncomfortable. Lemmy itself needs a better way to delete unnecessary posts and comments but you're right it's a far better leap from Reddit strict dictatorial moderations, regret not using MC in that post perhaps it would have simply gotten rejected and not gotten me banned and muted, needless to say the first place MC requested I send it, did not like me, alas I cannot delete my mistakes on Lemmy, yet at least I am not silenced, so far.
Totally get where the Reddit mod is coming from now.
