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.

Tons of crap like millions of "Fuck spez" all over the place, big ones and small ones, at one point they took up almost a 5th of the visible area. There were multiple statements about never forgetting what was taken from us or joining other social media. There were insults about spez in other languages and a guillotine with a snoo in it labeled Spez
Best to just let them die. The ultimate revenge is not thinking about that site at all. Let them fade into obscurity.
Sure, but that's something for reddit users to do. There are 63k active Lemmy users monthly, and there are 430 million active Reddit users monthly. I dropped Reddit with the app death, but people are vastly overestimating the direct impact that Lemmy could possibly have on Reddit.
Reddit's not gonna start dying until the population starts migrating in significant amounts to alternatives, which is probably going to be a little cataclysmic for Lemmy.
Things don't happen overnight. I have noticed this platform improving as time goes on. I find incredible content with authentic, real discussion here. Everyday the content grows and the conversation threads become longer and more varied.
It will grow if you let it.
This is it exactly: the difference in the discussions and posts between when I joined a few weeks ago and now is striking. It's reminding me of early reddit before the Digg migration and I'm hopeful it will continue to improve
Just like Digg before them.
I get that they'd want to remove slurs from the board but did they really remove the "never forget what we lost" banner with the 3rd party app icons? Because that's really just a peaceful protest and it would be very lame if they removed that...
As if Reddit Inc hadn't done anything lame recently
Exactly, buy this would make me lose my last tiny grain of respect for Reddit.
The devs may not like it that people preferred the third party apps. Silencing them wouldn't just be lame and stupid, but also downright pathetic.
one grain of the finest sand
yes
Other languages ? I have to respect the dedication.
it was German, done by the Germans on the German flag
There are people that mostly speak other languages
