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.

glad to be here!
Be mindful of the smug "Lemmy Culture" hipsters, they'll eventually weed themselves out or self segregate though as more normies flow in.
I welcome the masses.
Same!

Hey, does anyone know when a new user can upload an avatar? I’m still being denied.
As someone who's been on Lemmy for a year, TIL avatars are a thing lol
Why not ? I little personalization is not bad.
Very true, I just didn't know about it, maybe due to the app I use.

It take a few week on Lemm.ee IIRC. Most people wait for a bit, if that's really important for you you can have a look at https://lemmy.zip/.
You can export and import your settings from your settings account using the default UI

How come theres been an influx of users recently? Did reddit shit the bed again?
For some people, Trump has shit the bed (invasion threats, trade wars etc) and has stimulated a number of people to move away from US-controlled services and products.
For me I left Reddit recently and switched because Reddit made a change that broke the Boost app.
Reddit recently started doubling down on far-right actions. Like making it so you can be banned for just upvoting a post that breaks the rules, or banning you for saying the name "Luigi."
Personally, I recently got permabanned for being truthful about fascists.
Yes they started banning thousands of active users for “inciting violence” if you say things like “fuck Elon musk” or “my favorite character in super Mario bros is Luigi”
Well i can understand that - the best character in super mario bros is Yoshi

If anyones looking for chill communities to sub to, here's a fat ol list https://lemmy.world/post/16327122
Can some people who are willing to post something other than American politics and Reddit bashing posts join lemmy soon, I'm sick of my entire feed being nothing but all these negative topics
Use an app with filter lists. Add american political terms to filter. Experience gets muuuuuch better.
For those of us using Firefox there was a post on [email protected] on how you can use uBlock Origin to create word filters.
To do so, open up the uBlock Origin dashboard, go to the ‘My filters’ tab, and add this filter:
lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/word1|word2|word3|word4/i)
For example:
lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/Trump|Elon|Musk|nazi/i)

I think Lemmy is a bit too complicated to attract the kind of light-hearted users that made Reddit shine. It's daunting unless you have nowhere else to go.
Idk, I came here with no idea about the instance system, I joined one that was near the top of the list, realised it was entirely Tankies, and made an account on the instance this account is on. I think people are likely to have a similar experience.
Hear about Lemmy -> join one of the first instances they see -> realise how things actually work -> make an account on an instance that's properly researched and more aligned with the person

People on
Seem to be doing fine.
There is a pinned post with non-political communities on [email protected]
Big things are happening in the world right now. I know that it sucks.
Blocking all of the political and news communities can help
[email protected] has a pinned post without active non political communities
I had a discussion the other day, where people were not happy with lemmy instances not handing data over to google. They argument was that we should do everything so lemmy can be found more easily, as the only goal is to "win" against reddit.
Unfortunately in that discussion people were not interested in using Lemmy and the Fediverse at large to create a positive vision of the internet. They just wanted to stick it to one corporation they don't like. I don't like reddit either, but i think we should thrive for a Fediverse that upholds decentralization, open source and non commercialization of social interactions. All the large Internet corporations want to create the opposite and have been quite successful so far.

Hi :) it's a niche community but I'm doing what I can
Right there with you, it’s going to be a long four years…
Just block the subs. Or subscribe to communities that interest you and stick to your subscribed feed.

Dozens+1 ! :)
I wont survive without reddit.... I am so dead....
I've been here since the API exodus. I still go on reddit sometimes but found myself frequenting Lemmy a lot more. It's just better and the slow growing is quite noticeable. Gone were the days where you were always checking for new posts.
Wish I could say the same I just want to die...
