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.

ah yes, just like how the oh so mighty mods pissed their panties with the blackouts, really killed reddit too that one huh
I mean, yeah. Have you been on reddit since the API stuff? It's absolutely flooded with bots trying to make up the difference. Which is like, reddit playbook 2009. The broken links are pretty prolific too at this point.
It's not going to like, close its doors, but it certainly isn't in the position it was just a few months ago.
I hope you're right and I'll take your word for it. I don't go to that site anymore.
no difference, why you may ask?
just look at youtube, same shit different color, it keeps getting worse but they are still the king in terms of video hsoting
Yes but the emperor has no clothes, and more and more people are realising this.
Also reddit is made up primarily by users and the posts/comments they make, YouTube is made up by paid video creators. YouTubers don't have anywhere else to go, but reddit users do and just need a critical mass somewhere else for reddit to go the way of digg.
i just hope, honestly, that you are right
Although it makes it harder for me, I actually quite like hitting a Google result on Reddit and seeing swaths of editted/deleted comments.
Digg and MySpace still technically exist
Yeah I think it's pretty clear at this point that 99% of reddit users don't care about this, which is why reddit continues to thrive while lemmy is facing lower and lower user numbers
Do you mean lower growth in numbers? Lemmy.world recently posted users for August and it grew by a healthy amount.
I'm referring to this link that showed the active monthly users for lemmy as a whole across all instances trending downward

The numbers of comments is growing. I would take that as the reliable engagement metric. The falling number of active users could be a sign of people settling on a main account.
Is Lemmy? I've been pretty happy over here, frequent it often once I learned of it not long ago.
I disagree. I think more ppl are leaving Reddit each day. My irl friends are bailing on it one by one.
I also feel the same, Lemmy is well..,. an echo chamber supporting Lemmy . Communties I used visit are doing just fine on reddit. But I a happy with the lower numbers and better quality of discussions
