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:
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.
14 year old here. I've been back a few times to run Power Delete Suite to modify my existing comments, then delete them. Not sure what's happening, but the above is "a few times" as I checked once and sure enough some of my deleted comments were reappearing on that damned site!
I've also deleted all saved comments, etc.
11+ years, letting it go. This is my home now. Man I just wanted to lol at memes and look at tits and now I have ads every 3 posts. 1 of those three always seems to be a repost too, it got out of hand
I've been on Reddit since 2012, but I haven't quite quit Reddit completely. It fills the same role as twitter now, where I go there to interact with specific communities but never scroll through the front page any more.
✋ 15ish years. Left after Reddit confirmed they wouldn't be changing the policy
8 Years+ due to being an account-less lurker. Still use for official subreddits and occasional boredom. I guess having twice the content is also fine.
Had an account since 2011. Deleted it mid July. Haven’t logged in once. I miss the metalcore community but that’s about it.
11 years here. Deleted all my posts (not that I was a crazy prolific poster, but it still took hours and hours with the tool running).
12 year club, left when Apollo died, so far haven’t gone back.
11 years here
12 here, account still exists so i can continue to delete my old posts every time they restore them
12 years.
170k karma. Nuked my post history a month ago. I'll occasionally look at reddit on my work desktop but I'm absolutely not installing the app
Me. Around 10-11 year account. It sucks since Reddit has been my landing page ever since joining. It really hurts that greed destroyed a good thing we have there.
But I feel that lemmy has something better to offer.
Raises hand. ~13 year old account, just deleted it and basically haven’t gone back and don’t intend to.
I think I hit my 12 year cake day shortly before leaving for good, and that wasn't my first account.

Approaching 11 years
Part of the Digg Exodus, and now part of the Reddit Exodus. I was on Reddit before the Digg collapse but rarely.
I've left other than checking the few communities that don't exist anywhere else (mostly gaming and a few other niche interests). I haven't logged in since the protest started.
14 years with a reddit account, I lurked for a couple years before that. I lurked on Digg from 05-07 before a nerdy friend introduced me to Reddit. I've never moderated, I mostly read and contribute to communities about local news or communities relevant to my hobbies.
13 years, cut and run when 3rd party app support was killed.
12 years. Migrated to Reddit when Digg collapsed. Reddit slowly changed over the last 4 years or so, for the worse, even before the recent shenanigans. Glad to be here.
Only 7 years for me, but long enough to hope they miss my traffic.
Haven't deleted my account but I've exclusively been here now. It was a few years old. Want to see Lemmy (and other alternative sites) grow as reddit loses.
10 years and the day Apollo died my towel went with it
I sure hope places for NFL and NHL pick up cause so far the MLB game threads are a ghost town
10 years when I deleted the account.
Now just tears in the rain.
I joined reddit 2009, so I suppose 14 years. Back then I was more using Slashdot.
Deleted mine a month ago.
I don't miss it one bit.
A bit over 10 years for me. Haven't looked back. That shit was rough.
Nearly 14 years, right after digg imploded.
Twelve years on reddit and just about as long using reddit is fun, but now I'm gone.
I’m old hat. I joined during the Digg vs Reddit wars of the early 2000s. Glad to see a new contender on the block.
Ten-Year Club member here. Still need to sometimes to completely quit reddit.

The only real reddit drama that I personally was invested was r/animemes with Trap ban, so it's easy to ignore chat, follows, cryptocurency, Reddit becoming close sourced, Avatars (I set up one and change it 1 time when free was given and like ehh it's gamer thingy lookalike will use it).
I got my GPDR or how it called request, but didn't login till day 20 and you have 7 days to download and 30 to request link... well I requested link 3 times and still error.
I don't really want to think about it being that long, considering how quickly I up and left as soon as RiF was supposed to shut down. Not relying on Reddit for Google results is practically impossible for me.
About 12 years, I was living in Rarotonga at the time and I was looking for something to replace my YouTube habit because data was herendously expensive and reddit was mostly text and images, it was fantastic
11 years. Was using Apollo, now on Voyager! It’s like nothing has changed, except fewer bots.
Me
I can't check right now, but I know for certain I had at least 13 years
12 years here, started using it regularly after they killed Google reader.
My oldest, out of 5, account was 13y. I fucking loved reddit, but the last 5-6 years it was still easily 1-2hours a day but on tablet and phone. Always RIF. Since RIF is gone I only have being back on my porn account through browser.
Joined Reddit in 2011 when my wife introduced me to it (and RiF).
Left when the API drama started and was glad when I found feddit.de (later switched to sh.itjust.works).
Have since deleted my reddit account and only browse it when I can't find any other source for a technical problem/solution.
I did.
Honestly Lemmy isn't proving particularly great yet; most of the top posts are from terminally-online agenda posters banging the same identity politics drum I couldn't escape on Reddit.
I think the main reason is the smaller communities here haven't reached critical mass yet. I'm not going back to Reddit, though, because I produced a lot of content for them over the years and they repaid me with a terrible user experience and endless adverts.
Hopefully it'll get better here. If not, maybe something else will pop up. Or I can just find an extra hobby.
what was reddit, can someone describe it.. was that like napster or something.. but yeah, i had a 10 year account or something.. now they couldn't pay me to post to their site..
