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.

I Need Help (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

Have you not tried a vpn?

You could block or mute those subreddits, that would stop them showing into your feed and stop you from engaging with them.

Anyways stay away from r/all and trending, because reddit tends to push those subs even when you have muted or blocked them. Although not so sure about this one, its been sometime since I have used Reddit.

Best of luck to you with this question. Reddit is actively hostile to developers writing tools to change the way users interact with the platform.

They only want you using it the way they intended and no other way. Bridges have been burned with developers that maintained these kinds of tools. This is a huge part of why many users are on Lemmy in the first place.

There is a chance that you could use an ad blocker to prevent you from accessing those.

The funny thing is that I asked this question before, and was also downvoted then too because people think this isn't something that could ever happen to them and I must be stupid. Trust me folks, give it four more years and a ban or two and you'll be tearing your hair out just the same and cursing the platform.

I'm guessing that's not the reason for the downvotes. Even though this is the reddit community, Lemmy users generally just don't care about what happens on reddit.

Ive been here a while and I can definitely say Lemmy users are psychotic. They weren't always this way though, when I first joined Lemmy people were kinda nice and laid back. But it very quickly became politically charged with extremists on both sides of the political aisle, and thats when everything crumbled.

Posting and commenting on Lemmy feels like walking on eggshells now, when it used to be chill.

Yeah you’re generally going to get any help using any of the hellsites here
