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.

MODERATORS
11 years. Gun was already aimed as his foot, but the Spez went and pulled the trigger. Happy to be off reddit now.
Joined in January, 2013 so just over 10 years. Ialmost exclusively lurked though.
+1 here.
I used the official Reddit app for some time before switching between Apollo and Joey (depending on whether I had an iPhone at the time or an Android).
I am one. I had six Reddit accounts, a couple were throwaways. I started at Slashdot then Digg then Reddit. I’ve since deleted all my most popular posts (that caused PMs on the regular) then deleted the accounts afterwards.
I still view content on there but with no account using AdGuard and Sink It (removes Reddits BS “download app” prompts). I also browse incognito to not leave behind tracking cookies.
I’ve made sure I’m worthless traffic to them for the content that Lemmy doesn’t have.
11 years+ here. Left almost a month ago.
Not quite 10 years, only 8, but I left the moment rif was shut down. Fuck spez
I got all my accounts banned last year and I've been watching the decline ever since.
I had various accounts over the years, but switched from Digg, which must've been pre-2010.
It's sad, but most communities felt crowded with people jumping down other people's throats, so I don't miss many
Had an 11 year old account.
Just over a decade on reddit. Still miss how it was. Hopeful for lemmy and fediverse future
Yeah I hauled ass this year. Logged out and will not go back. It went from decent for years to cumbersome garbage real quick.
10 yo for me
i delted my 12+ yr. account.
It would have been 13 years this year, but the API changes killed Boost and after also killing Reddit Gifts for failing to turn a profit when it started as a community thing, plus the new redesign to make it look more like the Facebook feed, plus having to rely on automoderator codes instead of having properly integrated mod tools, plus the fact that they keep rolling out Place again instead of coming up with more original ideas like The Button, plus allowing the_donald and creepshots to exist for so long...
...yeah.
I changed accounts often but I was using the site from around 2010/11
I think I was on the site for just about ten years. Haven't touched it since june.
10-ish years here. I haven't used it on my phone since the cut, but I sadly can't really quit it completely, since a lot of communities haven't migrated and I have to use them for my hobbies. Most of their discords are sadly very dead or full with memes and no real discussion. When (or if sadly) they all convert, I can quit Reddit completely. Until then, I try to use it as little as possible.
I was a long term user until and left because of the third party apps removal.
14 years. Reddit has been shit for a while tho.
13
I left it for content outside of two are communities that are only at reddit: r/Summonerschool and r/CompetitiveTFT. (they are also at discord, but I dont like "chat" style)
12 years. Wiped my account and deleted it. Even the porn alt
12 years and I am not missing it.
I was a bit over 12 if I remember right.
I don't miss it at all.
Yep. Turns out I don’t miss it.
Can't be bothered the check but close to 10 years, fuck that site!
Not sure how long I was there, but well over ten years. Deleted my account and am done.
15 years here
November 25, 2010
Fuck spez
I've been on Reddit for 10+, but I haven't actually left yet, this isn't quite a full replacement for me.
My 10 year anniversary was July 12.
10 years, haven't used it at all since Sync stopped working. I'm enjoying Lemmy, not very many niche communities but I'm sure that will catch up
about 12 years I think for me
13+ years on Reddit, never very active though... still modding some smaller communities.
11 years here. Made the jump shortly after the protests died down and Huffman made it clear that he didn't care who the changes impacted.
