- Follow Lemmy's Code of Conduct.
- Remain on-topic. Worldbuilding contains many areas of interest, so, when in doubt, explain how your contribution fits within worldbuilding.
- Give context in the comments of your post. This will help your audience engage with your creation and encourage interaction.
- Tag posts as NSFW if they contain images or discussion of extreme violence or explicit sexuality.
- Advertising should not disrupt the community. Self-promotion of projects related to worldbuilding are fine. However, you must be willing to engage with your audience.
- Love each other. There's a human on the other side of your screen, so treat them with respect.

Building a story is world building.
You just have to keep good notes. There's absolutely no meaningful difference in coming up with whatever system you're using and then telling stories with it, vs telling the story as you build the world, with the story guiding the building. You end up in the same place, you do the same amount of editing along the way, and no reader will be able to tell which you did.
