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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

Hi :) it's a niche community but I'm doing what I can

[–] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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.

I wont survive without reddit.... I am so dead....

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Wish I could say the same I just want to die...

It took every person on this platform to get us to 600. Bots I'm calling on your power.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Reporting for duty.

[–] [email protected] 90 points 1 day ago (7 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Oh god, oh no. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Welcome in.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (3 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.

So tasty names still available

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

I'm loving it already! And...I'm not scrolling through ads too!!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Every time I end up on Reddit the amount of ads makes me recoil. You’re free now!

Dozens of dozens of dozens of dozens of dozens... 112,744 to be inexact...

Lemmy Total Users by Day: 1,352,936 for 3/12/25.

Divided by 12, that's 112,744 and some change... probably a couple of baker's dozens in there....

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Looks like ~53k monthly active users, I think that's a better stat, since it doesn't include people making new alts and abandoning their old accounts.

Welcome and dont forget to tip your local server administrators. Servers are not free.

Keep it away from corporations by donating today. :)

Lemmy and Mastodon are like "PBS" social media.

"This is brought to you by people like you."

I prefer redxiter.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Welcome! It's nice and comfy here, if a little less of an infinite content-hose compared to Reddit. You might need to do a little more heavy lifting yourself in terms of posting and commenting, but on the plus side - people actually read what you post, instead of being drowned by a deluge of spam and bots! And discussions are mostly friendly and civil!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Yes that's what I've found! There's less of it but the quality is far better, the atmosphere is far better and it's like reddit used to be years ago. I've missed all that and I'm so glad I found lemmy. ☺️

Just be warned, those dozens are all actually one person.

It's me. I just enjoy talking to myself so much I made lemmy

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, I didn’t expect us to have an existential crisis today, but here we are.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

That's okay, we'll get past it again

I have several personalities, so I guess you can say there’s dozens of us.
