Reddit

Genuine question.

There are tons of niche subs on Reddit that aren't on Lemmy or don't have enough people posting. Lemmy could benefit from bots that automatically post Reddit content. Why is this not a thing?

I usually browse rdx to stay up to date with my favorite things: games, halloween, steam deck, etc. Today, im going to bitch about the fo76 sub, and the steam deck sub. Im so, SO tired of these posts.

Fo76: so many fucking annoying posts of people jacking themselves off and farming karma. "To the level 14 player whos collectron i pillaged" blah blah blah "i didnt know you were only level 14" blah blah blah "i left you 1000 caps as an apology and im glad you could get them" blah blah fucking blah. We all know you're just jerking yourself off and farming karma. Shut the FUCK UP and stop clogging the sub reddit for actual good posts.

And steamdeck? This sub can fuck off to the furthest reaches of hell. I want tips, tricks, game performance reports, steam deck news and tech support. I dont want to see 1000 pictures of people holding their steam deck alongside some phoned in bullshit about how they're LOVING their steam deck! Congrats! You're using the device as intended! Now shut the fuck up! Fuck off! Although, my disdain for that place is in part because of the garbage, power abusing mods, these fucking posts are just karma whoring mind rot in my opinion.

And yes before you ask, i do in fact feel better now that i got that out.

Thank you /u/FitikWasTaken!

u/LeninMeowMeow moderates a large amount of big subreddits, r/therightcantmeme, r/gamingcirclejerk, r/animememes, r/greenandpleasent (a known russian propaganda subreddit source: Center for European Policy Analysis (think Lemmygrad)) and much more.

Anyways on r/lemmy, he says that lemmy.world is right-wing and thatcherite. I reply that it is more social democratic.

I instantly get banned from the subreddits he moderates and blocked by him. I have not commented or participated in any of their subreddits before, and this is my first ever encounter with them.

Weird and concerning behaviour. I fear that tankies are taking over most left wing spaces on reddit (not that I really use reddit for politics anymore, that’s why I’m on lemmy, but for the implications to our democracies, as a non-negligible chunk of voters are politically influenced by reddit).

I'm so confused, is this a new thing?? I was looking for German People's experiences with Narcolepsy and Google suggested a Reddit thread about athletes with Narcolepsy. It was in German, so I just assumed it was a German author, but it quickly became weird when the author said "you" instead of "y'all" and mentioned upping his running miles every week.

I checked at the top any yep, there was a little "See Original" button that translated the post to English.

Am I alone in thinking that this is kinda weird and icky? Like this are people speaking about their personal experiences, just pulling their words through automatic translation can kill so much meaning and context. Not even to mention that it makes the search engine result useless for me, as I was specifically looking for German posts :/

Title says it all. I usually browse on mobile, so I never noticed this

Reddit just wrapped up its second earnings call as a public company and CEO Steve Huffman hinted at some significant changes that could be coming to the platform.

All the principled pirates have jumped ship to lemmy so it was bound to happen sooner than later.

I wonder if i will get banned lol and got this idea from someone also reddit did not let me put a lemmy link for some reason

Some subreddits change their CSS in annoying ways, even hiding the "Use subreddit style" toggle that RES provides.

The fix that worked for me:

• type . to bring up a RES command window
• enter srstyle off

Hopefully that helps when you need to use old.reddit for something, at least until it stops working for good

More player AMAs could be coming, too.

It's unbelievable how vocal the minority of conservatives on reddit have suddenly gotten in the one sub where a large demographic of important voters often interact. Hmmm. Coincidence?

Some of the new Reddit mods are so toxic. Instead of apologizing for the bot being too harsh and reinstating my submission, they just banned me because I dared to ask what exactly I didn't "punctuate correctly".

I've been using reddit for over a decade and there's a few subreddits I've been banned from (/r/news, /r/crazyfuckingvideos, etc). Unfortunately, I keep forgetting when I'm browsing. If I accidentally comment in one of those my current account gets banned for ban evasion. Is there a browser extension that can block participation in certain communities but still allow you to see content? I can't keep having my current reddit accounts permenantly banned like this and then lose all my subscriptions and preferences and friends etc. This has happened twice already.

Please help.

Well, i created account for privacy concerns as i don't want to link some reddit activity to my main account, which is my online identity (fb, yt, ...)

Look like they know i am multi and they ban multi, assuming it is spam.

I am using the alt as usual, comment here and there, nice and civil words.Sometime i post questions need to be ask, for example, game community, asking for advice, guide, etc.

Being shadowbanned also deleted all my previous and further contents.

Appeal doesn't work, nobody answering.

That it I gave up.
