[META] Can we please gave a pinned rules post? (lemmy.helios42.de)

Can we please get a post that explains what this community is for? Seems like nobody reads the sidebar (which is hard to access on most mobile clients) so we constantly get flooded with questions that would rather fit in [email protected] or [email protected]

I understand that many people are still confused by how lemmy works but we should make clear that this is for general questions and discussions similar to what /r/askreddit was and not a place to ask technical questions about lemmy.

We do have pinned posts - but due to other issues, these may not always sync through to each instance. Believe me, I wish they did. :)

Please do keep pointing out rule #3 about support. Please also go ahead and flag threads (and especially comments!) for the mods. We're a small team and the extra help would be great.
