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.

People really need to remember how easy it is to create a forum of their own. There is literally no need to pay reddit for a niche community, when one can just be created in an afternoon. Hell, you can just spin up a community on Lemmy. But of course reddit will delete and block any posts with information about moving a subreddit somewhere off-site.
Yup. They can remove any content they don’t like under guise of “Our platform is ours so no free speech”
Remove content they don’t like while pushing content in my face that I don’t want to see.
Between the constant ads and politically divisive subreddit recommendations that plague my Reddit experience, Lemmy feels like a breath of fresh air. I actually see the stuff I want to see, and am not having garbage pushed onto me.
Welcome here, feel free if you have questions, this post can also be useful: https://lemm.ee/post/37715
Thank you! Another reason why I like it here so far is that every interaction with people has been positive. Greatly appreciated!
Unless they charge you to do that too.
Who is "they"? You'll need to pay for hosting, and a domain, but that's like $5 per month and $20 per year, for one person. Nobody else would need to pay. I suppose the biggest issue is that most people don't know how to do that anymore, and nobody wants to. It used to be something people got excited about when they were passionate about a hobby.
Sorry I misunderstood. I thought the post I was replying to was regarding just create a new subreddit, if a different sub starts charging.
But now that I've re-read it, it says "community" as here on Lemmy. So I misunderstood. :)
