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.

Do we want them all to know? There were a lot of shit heads on Reddit when I was there.
Yes its called free speech they might be idiots or shit heads in your eyes but they have as much of a right to speak as u do.
I bet my damned paycheck you’re one of those guys that thinks free speech means you can call the lady at Wendy’s the N word without repercussions.
I bet my damn paycheck u think free speech is the first amendment and not a philosophical idea.
Free speech rights don't apply to platforms. We have the right, arguably the responsibility, to filter certain speech.
Who's the arbiter of that?
Too late, looks like Reddit is already here, with an IQ hovering around room temp.
Everyone on Lemmy used Reddit at some point. It's not like we're some rare breed of human.
And just like the history of Reddit, from being niche and obscure to being ubiquitous and heavily trafficked, everything gets horrible when it gets big. The enshittification eye of Sauron is always watching, waiting for anything to get good enough to ruin.
No thanks, I’m a Linux user that is okay with being in the 2-4%. If it had a large market share, someone would find a way to capitalize on it. I’m also perfectly happy with my one and only form of social media staying small and cozy.
I thought we were supposed to the best of the rest /s
Very true.
I wouldn't mind having maybe twice the population and activity we have right now.
We don't need millions, but 100k would be a nice community, with enough people to discuss more niche topics, and more creators posting their work.
I just want enough humans to outnumber all the repost bots, honestly.
Just block lemmit.online
Also do block some users if you notice them "lowering" your feeds "quality"
Since I did these things Lemmy gets better day by day
Reddit is still a much more diverse group than the Fediverse, which is still sadly dominated by technical people, mostly men, of a generally very similar political position.
Also Lemmy and other forum-like instance types are the closest alternative to Reddit on the Fediverse, so it makes sense to let people on Reddit know that there is a more open alternative.
WEB 1.0 REDUX YESSSSS
IT REALLY WHIPS THE LLAMA'S ASS
