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.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I have been using Reddit for the last couple of years. It feels like it got worse ever since u/spez banned 3rd party clients which requires me to use revanced reddit now. Now the latest saga involves subreddits now banning you for participating in other subreddit they think are bad. This is just pure censorship at this point. And you want to know the best part Reddit has done NOTHING to stop this issue.

i'm surprised I quit reddit cold turkey and never looked back, i was fairly addicted to that place. reddit was getting bad before 2023, when i left, but at that point was getting clear that wasn't getting any better

Lemmy really helped scratch the Reddit itch. I was lucky enough that my app of choice (boost) was also available for Lemmy, so the transition was pretty seamless (actually, more seamless than it would've been sticking with Reddit, since I left over the API shit, which would've forced me over to their half-baked app).

The only thing I really miss is the sheer volume of users, especially in more niche communities, but the posts on Lemmy imo tend to be more quality over quantity than Reddit, so that helps.

Always remember Alien Blue. That was a great app until spaz and co bought it.

Create the niche subs and fill with some content. Then hopefully other users will join.

I mean all y'all are generally less likely to be expressing your anal glands on the internet here. I like it.
