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.

Yo
11 years here I think.
Not quite 10, but something around that. Popped up on place to contribute pixels to the guillotine and such, but haven't been back.
Use RSS to keep up with nosleep which is the only thing I really enjoyed very much.
Kbin/fedi really wasn't that hard to adjust to, in the end.
13 years for me and fuck Reddit. I don't see myself going back.
12 years here
Just checked: oldest account i still have is 16 years old.
Around 12 years of reddit here. Completely purged my account and then deleted it. Haven't been back since.
Noticed that google which is basically a glorified reddit search engine, has become even worse
I started my first account in 2012 because my ex husband was into it. I ask don't understand "why does the narwhal bacon" but I slowly figured out reddit and recommended it to all of my friends. Sad to see it go; but I'm glad... except for a few small communities (Neopets, Microgrowery, AIDKE, shrimptanks, succshaming, etc.) it was turning into a cesspool of ads and manipulated visibility.
12 years
About a decade or so on Reddit. Most of it through Relay when I was an android user or Apollo for the last few years.
Deleted my account. Don’t really think about Reddit anymore unless it comes up on a news site or here.
11+ years, lurked longer than that. It's probably easier to make the change to Lemmy if you've seen the descent.
12 years I think for my imekon account on reddit.
My first account is a little over 12 years old. I catch myself opening up reddit everyone once and a while but have basically completely left at this point. Hadn't been happy with what it's become for years and the most recent shit storm just seemed like a good time to call it quits. 7ish years ago I used to spend a ton of time on the investing subreddits, such as the now notorious and huge wallstreetbets.
The communities I enjoyed have all been overrun and ruined. Reddit became a victim of its own size long ago. Everything is just lowest common dominator crap now. The investing subreddits like wallstreetbets are the most obvious to me. They're just large scale pump and dumps for crypto and meme stocks now. It's ridiculous.
Just checked, I've registered my account... 9 years ago. Welp lol
Don’t know my exact age and can’t check as I post this because I refuse to visit reddit on my phone via anything but Apollo. But I’m pretty sure I’m 10+.
I do miss it. Once a month or so I’ll go peek at a couple smaller communities/game communities I was in that don’t have a Lemmy equivalent yet.
But I don’t comment anymore. I canceled my reddit premium the moment Apollo mentioned shut down. And I learned how to use the stronger mode of uBlock Origin to ensure they get as little from me as possible.
The site as I see it os shattered and barely functional. I can let what I’m used to shine through when I really want to by enabling certain domains to pass through uBlock Origin and NoScript. But tbh the shattered state is kind of fittingly metaphorical.
Me, got on reddit in 2008 or 9.
Me
12 year Redditor here. Nevermore...
raises hand
11 years. Very active commenter.
I've got high hopes for this place and the fedi-verse in general! I think the decentralized nature has so much potential.
12 years and honestly it’s a welcome change. I see others upset at the content quality but for me it’s a breath of fresh air and gives me good vibes.
11+ years, here
12 years, left when Apollo stopped working and went to Lemmy.world... left to another instance today when they started blocking certain communities
Bacon it was my jam. Spent 11 years there. Only slightly miss it to be honest.
I was on Reddit for around 11 years. Zero regrets leaving.
I deleted my account but I think I was around 12 years
I have the 5 year trophy. Not nearly as many years as 10, but still something. I also left Reddit.
Miss RiF.... But it was perhaps all for the better... Even if we had to make some sacrifices.
I think I joined in 2010 or 11, just to follow the cavs sub and a few others then I think I went all in the span 2014-22
Only 9 years here.
