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
I joined reddit 2009, so I suppose 14 years. Back then I was more using Slashdot.
11 years. Fuck spez
Had my account for 13 years and was a lurker for a while prior to that.
I thought I might miss Reddit but I really don't. Only issue is trying to find info on random things I can't find anywhere else.
12 years. Migrated to Reddit when Digg collapsed. Reddit slowly changed over the last 4 years or so, for the worse, even before the recent shenanigans. Glad to be here.
Ten-Year Club member here. Still need to sometimes to completely quit reddit.
✋ 15ish years. Left after Reddit confirmed they wouldn't be changing the policy
15 year account and happy with Lemmy here. Only going back to Reddit once in a while to make sure all my comments remain deleted.
I was right at the 10 year mark myself. I only use it now when a thread comes up in a search, I don't ever go there just for the sake of it anymore.
Haven't deleted my account but I've exclusively been here now. It was a few years old. Want to see Lemmy (and other alternative sites) grow as reddit loses.
I was in the 13 year club, and most of that was using RIF.
Deleted mine a month ago.
I don't miss it one bit.
Nearly 14 years, right after digg imploded.
12 here. Hate it, they had a good thing and they fucked it up for personal gain. I'm never gonna make amends with it.
Over 10 years on the account, 1 or 2 extras of lurking before that.
I'm gone for the most part, I don't ever open Reddit just to scroll since I jumped to Lemmy, but I do still add "Reddit" at the end of my Google searches because search engines have become useless and that's still the best way I know to get somewhat unbiased replies on just about any topic.
I made my first account in 2007. I ended up deleting it before long but I made another in 2009, which I deleted a couple of weeks ago (after manually deleting every comment and post I had ever made).
Officially, I had just reached the 14-year club.
14 years. Mostly on RIF. Deleted my account on the last day. Enjoying it here. Many thanks to all of you!
I used reddit for more than 12 years and I deleted my most recent account and left cold turkey.
I haven't full left Reddit. Just using it less as i feel my way around the different alternatives. Some groups forums exist, other go by other names...Just a question of finding them.
Eight years almost to the day between leaving Reddit then joining here, but I feel like a refugee multiple times over.
Old BBSes briefly; then IRC then and that chat thing Wired had for a while; the various Yahoo boards; Facebook (shudder, only a year or so); but mainly this one forum I loved that Twitter killed; Digg a little on the side; then Metafilter for more than a decade before I buttoned and came to Reddit.
I agree with wreel (how do we "@" people here?) that this feels a lot like the early fora of the original www, even a bit like BBSes on steroids at times.
About 11 years, here. I only go back occasionally to look at some communities that haven't really moved here yet that are important to me, but other than that, I steer clear of Reddit and I prefer Lemmy now.
11 years. Should have left multiple times during that stint but RIF shutting down was the last nail in the coffin.
I’m old hat. I joined during the Digg vs Reddit wars of the early 2000s. Glad to see a new contender on the block.
Two accounts. One I used to moderate that I made in 2009, and my other account was made about 10 years ago.
Used RIF on mobile and RES on desktop.
Now I use neither, deleted my moderator account and just left my more personal account to rot. (Don't want to delete everything on that one just yet).
16yrs, made an account before the Digg drama, migrated there after.
I’ve not been back since, other than friends linking to stuff there basically
Scrubbed and deleted a 12yr account and haven't been back.
Joined Reddit in 2011 when my wife introduced me to it (and RiF).
Left when the API drama started and was glad when I found feddit.de (later switched to sh.itjust.works).
Have since deleted my reddit account and only browse it when I can't find any other source for a technical problem/solution.
About 14 years or so for me. Was starting to get a bit bored of that place anyway. I've been enjoying Lemmy a lot so far.
13 years. I lurked a few years before creating an account. Been using Lemmy for the most part since the Apollo app shut down a month ago. I still append "reddit" to my searches though, so I occasionally end up there for older content.
13 years here
Raises hand 11 years. I too switched to Reddit when digg went south.
9 years and 9 months currently.
Been on Reddit for just a touch over ten years. Still visit it not logged in on a forked Reddit app with ad/telemetry content disabled, but refuse to engage content whatsoever.
I think u/jackcooper made it to 10? I was on 2-3 years before making an account
12 Years, fuck you u/Spez.
10+ years here, not sure how long because I deleted my account.
I deleted it towards the end of June, when Christian announced Apollo was closing down, and how Spez fucked him by twisting his comments.
I was very active in *Nix subs, like Linux, Ubuntu, elementaryOS, helping users. I was also active in the macOS patching subs (mojave / Catalina / OpenCore legacy), with guides and news. So there's definitely some substance lost by me deleting all my posts / comments. Do I care? Not really.
12 years here, started using it regularly after they killed Google reader.
Lurked reddit since 2006 (a year after it was founded); joined in 2008.
Leaving wasn't easy. Quitting tobacco was less difficult. But fuck 'em. I'm done.
✋
At least 10 years....won't go and check. I'm working hard to get the hang of the fediverse and being patient while it grows up. I'll check a few niche subjects on Reddit but without a phone app my usage is down like 98%. Not posting or voting. Obligatory fuck /u/spez. What a dumbass maneuver he pulled...so many other choices. Can't wait for him to go down in flames....
Yes.

The only real reddit drama that I personally was invested was r/animemes with Trap ban, so it's easy to ignore chat, follows, cryptocurency, Reddit becoming close sourced, Avatars (I set up one and change it 1 time when free was given and like ehh it's gamer thingy lookalike will use it).
I got my GPDR or how it called request, but didn't login till day 20 and you have 7 days to download and 30 to request link... well I requested link 3 times and still error.
Sup.
11 years. Was using Apollo, now on Voyager! It’s like nothing has changed, except fewer bots.
12+years. Deleted my primary and secondary accounts. Haven't looked back.
