News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Nah, I won. We won. We found better platforms like Lemmy, Mastodon, and KBin.
I'm not going back to reddit, there's simply no need.
Sadly, I still have to go back to Reddit since it's the only way to get information for certain niche communities
Why haven't you created those communities here and go post over there that they exist outside Reddit?
Just because you create a niche community in Lemmy, doesn't mean you'll get enough people to help answer your questions. It's hard to get more people into a niche community. And don't forget that most people online are lurkers. Even if a place looks like they have a lot of subscribers, most of them don't actually post/comment.
Oh i know, most of the subs i modded were tiny. But if you want to move why mot see if others want to join?
As the saying goes, "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
How else will those communities thrive off reddit if users like you don't start or participate in them elsewhere?
I never said that you shouldn't participate in new communities in Lemmy.
Extreme example? Acquaintance asked a question in !gayfisting@lemmynsfw.com and got no answers. Will more likely get more answers in /r/Gayfisting because it has 37K members. That is a niche community.
Been thinking of doing that, but haven't because:
I don't think I'm active enough to create a community nor do I know how to manage it properly and allow it to grow. And,
Usually I only go on Reddit for information I need right away or as soon as possible. So, Reddit is still more convenient than creating a new community for that topic.
But who knows. Maybe one day I'll get around to making community.
Probably not a big deal, as long as you don't log in
The whole API fiasco caused me to delete my Reddit account, after being in the site since 2013 :)
Exactly. Reddit can suck it.
I haven't really been back since my 3rd party of app shutdown. It wasn't some big moral protest on my part. I just have no easy access to a good app for it now.
Haven't been back since sync left. Now that I just got sync beta for lemmy, I'm happy again.
I think I've skimmed the F1 subreddit like twice since the protests began. I'm done with Reddit. Not just because of RIF but on desktop too. Lemmy gets better every day as well
