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.

That's a crazy thing to say as someone who doesn't know me! It's 1:40 am for me and I don't have to work tomorrow. I am playing a game and tab to Reddit on my second monitor every few minutes to place that thing down. I'm just trying to fight the good fight, sorry to break it to you.
Same I said "a game" on purpose ๐, I'm playing Pokemon Ultra Moon on citra right now preparing to shiny hunt some stuff later ๐๐ซ.
Godspeed.
But it doesn't matter what you put on the canvas - the point is that you are driving up engagement and that's exactly what Reddit wants
I learned about Lemmy by finding a Reddit alternatives post on Reddit. People need to find out somehow. This can also get covered by blogs and other social media network posts. I think the net effect will cause more people to find out about Lemmy and leave Reddit, so it's a temporary one off engagement that leads to much more disengagement from users who leave after finding an equivalent alternative.
Especially considering the note is in the literal middle of place and has been there for most of the timelapse so far. People undervalue that position HEAVILY.
I agree. I never would have heard of Lemmy if it wasn't for posts about it on Reddit.
Same here, found out about Lemmy on Reddit, but some time ago in discussion about where to go if Reddit bans a sub. Didn't actually start using Lemmy until shit hit the fan.
Yes. I am going around my town telling everyone to go to Reddit and do that. I am SO driving up engagement. Because compared to the bots replacing the Marocco school and the flags every 5 seconds are a minority compared to my block that I placed to advertise another website. Yes.
That's awesome! I still don't need to know anything about you to still say it's not worth your time going on Reddit lol.
But posting to say so was worth your time...?
Yes because I'm on Lemmy and not Reddit, and this is literally half a second of typing
Godspeed.
