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.

MODERATORS
Joined in 2011, used it pretty much everyday for 12 years. Probably an average of 3+ hours per day, though I'd constantly find myself closing the app or website down just to open it back up 5 minutes later. Since the app closed down and I don't really use my desktop anymore I've just stopped using it. I will still Google questions from reddit occasionally if I can't find good answers elsewhere, but in the past 2 months I've maybe visited the site 10 times, and only for specific questions, never to browse the front page. I'd say it's been good for me overall and, I've cut down from like 3-4 hours a day on reddit to maybe an hour a day between here and lemmy.
I hoped to replace reddit with reading and while it hasn't been completely successful I have been getting like 3 hours of reading per week, which is a lot better than the like 30 minutes a week (maybe) I used to get. I also feel my attention span has gotten better. With less stuff to see I tend to actually read the majority/all of an article instead of just the headline or skimming the first few paragraphs.
