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 have been systematically banned one sub at a time for the most foolish and sensitive reasons. This all started happening in the last 6 months after having the same account for 14 years. Making a sexual comment in a sub that is based on sexuality, Making a comment about a fictional character's looks got me banned for calling a fake character that never existed fat for body shaming. I have many more but I don't want to write a book. I have been a member since 2011 and now I am just in lurker mode for informational purposes only.

The question is, what game would you buy it's remaster in a heartbeat.

And now it's gone.

I couldn't care less about such a thing (it's not like I could use it with Sync for Reddit anyway) but I genuinely thought these gimmicks were already dead?

I definitely recall some redditors commenting on something like "if awards still exist I would give you one right away".

Can I transfer my awards from Reddit to Lemmy? /s

If you don’t want to see Reddit ever again in search like I did, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Install the extension from the Firefox store.

Step 2: Search Reddit.

Step 3: On your first search result drag your cursor over to the right on the drop-down arrow and select the crossed out eye.

Step 4: Hide all the Reddit suggestions on your first page.

Step 5: Now you won’t hear a beep again from that Snoo.

This just started yesterday or the day before. I use Firefox with Duckduckgo as a search engine. I wanted to look something up so I put the classical "reddit" at the end of my question. I couldnt find reddit at all. I was confused at first.

After searching it up I found out that reddit would only be indexed if you are using the google search engine. No more. I used to love reddit but now I'm tired of the website.

Lemmy for life!

That movie came out a year and a half ago. Can we update the banner? Was there a discussion about this that I missed?

With the message in the body:

[ Removed by Reddit on account of violating the content policy. ]

Spez is terrified of people finding greener pastures, its almost as if he knows the platform wouldn't hold up to proper scrutiny, so he's trying to ride out that popularity inertia from the 9 years of development as long as possible. Imagine how much bigger the 2023 exodus would've been if Reddit didn't remove all those posts recommending it, I'm just glad one of the lucky ones who were standing under one of the cracks in the ceiling that revealed the light, before the admins patched it and ordered their unpaid henchmen to start spreading propaganda against Lemmy by making it their Goldstein.

They didnt want me to know that I could be free from the shackles of corporate tyranny.

[Edit: New Moderation Team has since been installed by Reddit]

I mean, I totally get it. People keep posting (according the the mod) stuff like "DRONES ARE SPYING ON ME", of course, who'd want to moderate that shit? I'm glad the user decided to quit, and not have to babysit weirdos spamming conspiracy theories. (Its unpaid anyways, why even do it if the conspiracy-therory-filled community doesn't appreciate it)

Welp, that's a subreddit shutdown I haven't seen for a while. Good luck to whoever is next to deal with weird conspiracy shit.

I have attempted to post a few articles from the organization only for them to be immediately removed for no reason whatsoever. Even though they do not go against the subreddit rules.

Everyone will forget about Spez and his shenanigans,

I've seen at least 2 post today where a front page post has many normal looking comments, but their username was [deleted] Doesn't seem normal, any theories on whats going on?

Is my browser bugged?

If you visit r/ArtFundamentals now, there is a message:

/r/ArtFundamentals has PERMANENTLY CLOSED. Our drawing lessons are still available, completely free, on drawabox.com. We also have a large community you can join on our Discord chat server: discord.gg/drawabox. Lastly, all of the advice I have provided on this subreddit (6000+ comments worth) is available on our archive: drawabox.com/r/artfundamentals. More info on why we closed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/drawabox/comments/14pr4fa/drawabox_is_no_longer_maintaining_an_official/

Quote from the mentioned post:

[...] As of June 30th 2023, we have decided to move away from having an official presence on Reddit. Maintaining a presence on any social media platform comes with its risks - whether it's Reddit, Discord, or any other. When a platform demonstrates a lack of regard for its users, its volunteer moderators, and the third party developers that help provide critical accessibility and usability tools, that elevates the level of risk to something more immediate. [...]

This has broken the random functionality on my rdx for Reddit app and possibly other apps. They keep breaking one feature or another and it's getting hard to maintain the app now.

They also removed these other features:

1/ Subdomain subreddit redirect: This is where “.reddit.com” is currently redirected to “reddit.com/r/”, 2. r/random, r/randnsfw, r/myrandom, and reddit.com/random 3. old.reddit.com Snoovatars 4. Saving posts and comments with category or by subreddit.

The don't even announce it on announcements. This is the post https://www.reddit.com/r/help/comments/1fojw02/cleaning_up_some_lowusage_features/
