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:
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.
Joan Westerberg has been doing great work on the Fediverse. I pasted this link in the one sub I miss r/idiocracy:

My post was really good — I used Idiocracy speech to get my scros to join me in LEMMY and not only was the post rejected but I earned a temporary ban at Reddit.
At this point there isn’t even a point in going back to leave a breadcrumb trail to be followed.
What a shitty site. I don't miss it.
They're asking their users to leave. Its about time we oblige them.
Just delete your account and uninstall reddit. Best decision I made. I left 7 years and around 300,000 karma. Now I just use reddit via Google searching for instructions or IT tips.
Agreed - Even before this, the only thing I really used reddit for was to search. It's unfortunate that Reddit is really the only search option with a decent chance of surfacing the information I want to know - most search results if you don't add "Reddit" at the end are AI slop, ads, or AI generated listicles.
I found the perfect way to not get banned from Reddit: simply don't go there.
Absolutely.
the only way I end up there lately is through search results. even then half the time what im looking for got blanked out or deleted by someone leaving reddit.
Genuinely such mixed feelings about all the deleted old posts. I swear it's well over half of the time I search up some kind of tech issue and all the relevant posts are gone. But the replies saying "thanks this fixed it so fast!" are always still there lmao.
Like I'm glad there's less and less of a reason to go to Reddit. Fuck that site. But also... goddamn!
I think they're going the Twitter-> X route. Make it so unusable for the people who would give any pushback, that all that's left are the people who are going to cause real harm and the others that are too addicted and/or stupid to leave.
Reddit brain drain has been happening for years, and it's already embarrassing how much the quality of posts has dropped. Now it's about to get so much worse.
I was noticing an uptick in the quality of the posts in the last month. It's to our benefit here.
Agreed!
Just started my Lemmy adventure. Unfortunately, even the morons are jumping ship now.
It's just like... You know? Don't worry about it Scro...
But in all seriousness I'm glad Lemmy exists.
Sorry to hear
