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.

This is my first post, on my first day here, and it feels pretty good.

Here, have some beans.

We don't do pay-a-social-media-ceo-to-win around here, we do beans. Practical, eatable, 100% all natural digital beans.

Some other users may be able to gift you a proper lemmy kilmister commerative gold token, but I don't have the jpg.

EDIT: oh right, a possibly useful warning:

About a month or two ago, lemmy seems to have attracted its first mass spam bot, dming thousands of users with basically a phising email.

If you get a message from 'Fediverse Chick', that's not her, someone stole her image, just block the user.

The tankies have been notified. I expect you will receive a proper welcoming in the not so distant future.

It’s kind of a rush picking a username knowing most are still available.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

UltraGiGaGigantic2 is still available

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

Nicknames are per instance so your favourites are always available somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 21 hours ago

and the best part is that if a name is taken on one instance you can just try another!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I know! I hadn't even thought of that until I saw someone's was like "mee" and now I need to get another account. It's like how people get caught off guard when I tell them my 20 year old email is just my name with no numbers or special characters.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Haha it’s great because there’s always another instance where your username will be available.

Or you can choose to be something different on each instance.

I just came over from Reddit too. It took me a day to settle in and understand how federation worked but now it makes total sense to me.

Start posting stuff with us welcome welcome everyone :)

So tasty names still available

(There always will be many good names available since every name can exist once on every instance)
