Will this community be run like the AskGayBros subreddit? (feddit.dk)

As in, AGB's hands-off moderation, "use the upvote and downvote system to curate content, don't bother the mods" principle. I don't like the extreme censorship in the main LGBT subreddits but AGB became extremely low quality when banned sub refugees arrived and the mods continued to use this approach. I'm assuming the admin here is going to promote this instance and make this community active at some point.

Dumb question but why do you ask? I personally don't trust lemmy at all in regards to posting what you want without being banned

Lemmy isn't a social media company like Reddit where the company sets the rules for all communities that use Reddit's website. It's a network of websites run by people with no association to each other or to Lemmy's developers, but there is technology that allows the different websites to communicate with each other. Each website can set its own rules. The website your account is on has very strict rules but other Lemmy websites can be much more relaxed.

For example, your account's website is beehaw.org and mine is feddit.dk, but we're commenting on a thread on lemmy.cock.social. The three websites can talk to each other (like email) but they all have different rules.

Yes but here's my issue. I don't like the other fediverse apps I don't like the fediverse in general. Why? Because it's set up like Twitter and I don't like Twitter I like Reddit. I like the layout with the upvote and downvote feature and the post shows first while the comments follow. You can only use the Lemmy app with Lemmy instances this is what I mean I can't use Mastodon on a Lemmy app it won't work

I think you're misunderstanding what the fediverse is. The "fediverse" refers to the technology that allows the different instances to communicate. It doesn't specifically refer to Twitter clones or Reddit clones, since there are Facebook, Youtube and Instagram clones on the fediverse as well. You can actually use the Lemmy website to view Mastodon posts and vice versa. People have posted to Lemmy from Mastodon accounts and you can paste a Lemmy comment's URL into Mastodon to view and reply to it like a tweet. The technology behind Mastodon, Lemmy and the other clones is the same, they can all communicate with each other.
