- 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.

Pros: Can immediately suggest an alternate idea that was otherwise unexpected or could not be spurred by creative means. It gives invaluable help when dealing with writer's block.
Cons: When relied upon solely or in great amounts, can easily make the writer dependent, predictable and lazy in the creative process.
