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.

From a basic redditor (lemmy.world)

Long time Reddit lurker, first time poster.

I am a pretty basic redditor. never even heard of the 3rd party apps until the whole API thing happened. but i followed the news and was seriously triggered by how the admins acted towards the users and the mods who worked voluntarily for reddit. i feel like i cannot in good faith stay with such a corporation, and i wholeheartedly support the communities migrating here.

where i'm from there was also a similar incidence, where one of the largest forum experienced a massive exodus because of 3rd party app issues. it turned out to be a huge success for the new forum. so it can be done - but it does require solidarity and perhaps more importantly functionality.

so, hang in there ;)

edit: i meant basic not based LOL. sorry :(

Same here, only that I am/was a content creator instead of a lurker. Never heard of the apps, but after reading some articles about how the CEO acted, I decided to leave reddit and nuke my content.

I would be lying if I said that it was an easy decision, as most of the stuff I posted were game guides, and removing those basically punishes the users, but I'm not going to let that guy use my literal years of unpaid volunteer work for his personal gain anymore. The less clicks reddit gets, the better - and to achieve that, the interesting / desireable content has to go so that fewer people have an incentive to visit that site in the first place.

PS: welcome to the party, fellow (ex)redditor ;)

Hi! If you want to do a search of top Lemmy instances (like how we used to append "Reddit" to search terms on Google and what not), a user named Benjamin Pryor made a great search tool here:

https://fedi-search.com

I saved the favicon to my favorites bar and have been using it like a search button.

Also, if theres a sub on Reddit that you just really want to keep tabs on, there's an instance called lemmit.online. They have a bot that will pull content over that you can subscribe to it as a Lemmy community. Details on how to request a sub so the bot will pull content over are here:

https://lemmy.world/comment/325260

Lastly, are you on Android or iOS? You can search for an Android app called Jerboa on the Google Play store to browse Lemmy and there's an iOS app called Mlem in the Apple app store.

Have fun!

Welcome! :)

If you feel a bit confused by how this new platform works, don't worry, you're not the only one, here's a starting guide if you wish to know a bit more.

[–] nijntjefan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

thanks. still trying to figure things out. i do hope the content here will get better once more people come here as well

[–] ulu_mulu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's already better! you just have to go find communities (subreddits) you're interested in and subscribe, the guide I linked will tell you how.
