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.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

This is my first post, on my first day here, and it feels pretty good.

[–] PaulBunyan@lemm.ee 47 points 4 days ago (5 children)

It’s kind of a rush picking a username knowing most are still available.

[–] DeadButGonnaMakeIt@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I know! I hadn't even thought of that until I saw someone's was like "mee" and now I need to get another account. It's like how people get caught off guard when I tell them my 20 year old email is just my name with no numbers or special characters.

UltraGiGaGigantic2 is still available

Welcome. I think you will like it here. We're kind of like reddit except we aren't trying to make money from you, or your content. And we are more likely to follow the golden rule. And swear. Lots of swearing.

[–] anasTheCatwanji@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

and we don't limit or kill 3rd party app support, but rather support them, and even have a page about apps for lemmy which are, 3rd party

Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in

[–] HalfSalesman@lemm.ee 18 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Be mindful of the smug "Lemmy Culture" hipsters, they'll eventually weed themselves out or self segregate though as more normies flow in.

I welcome the masses.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

nazis can stay the fuck out, though.

[–] MrNesser@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (8 children)

How come theres been an influx of users recently? Did reddit shit the bed again?

[–] LonstedBrowryBased@lemm.ee 21 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Yes they started banning thousands of active users for “inciting violence” if you say things like “fuck Elon musk” or “my favorite character in super Mario bros is Luigi”

Reddit recently started doubling down on far-right actions. Like making it so you can be banned for just upvoting a post that breaks the rules, or banning you for saying the name "Luigi."

Personally, I recently got permabanned for being truthful about fascists.

[–] docfate@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

I got a warning today about upvoting violence. The only thing I have upvoted in the last little while is pro-Canada stuff like elbows up. If that gets me kicked off Reddit then fuck them and fuck spez the little pig boy.

[–] klu9@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago

For some people, Trump has shit the bed (invasion threats, trade wars etc) and has stimulated a number of people to move away from US-controlled services and products.

[–] feddup@feddit.uk 8 points 3 days ago

For me I left Reddit recently and switched because Reddit made a change that broke the Boost app.

I'm loving it already! And...I'm not scrolling through ads too!!

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Every time I end up on Reddit the amount of ads makes me recoil. You’re free now!

[–] Vopyr@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Reddit has ads? I use Librewolf/Firefox with uBlock so I didn't notice, lmao.

Welcome to the fediverse everyone

It's like our own Reddit but with blackjack and hookers

and without fascist rules like banned keywords nazi Luigi etc, fuck reddit

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago (20 children)

Can some people who are willing to post something other than American politics and Reddit bashing posts join lemmy soon, I'm sick of my entire feed being nothing but all these negative topics

[–] Liljekonvalj@feddit.org 13 points 3 days ago

Big things are happening in the world right now. I know that it sucks.

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

I had a discussion the other day, where people were not happy with lemmy instances not handing data over to google. They argument was that we should do everything so lemmy can be found more easily, as the only goal is to "win" against reddit.

Unfortunately in that discussion people were not interested in using Lemmy and the Fediverse at large to create a positive vision of the internet. They just wanted to stick it to one corporation they don't like. I don't like reddit either, but i think we should thrive for a Fediverse that upholds decentralization, open source and non commercialization of social interactions. All the large Internet corporations want to create the opposite and have been quite successful so far.

Dozens of dozens of dozens of dozens of dozens... 112,744 to be inexact...

Lemmy Total Users by Day: 1,352,936 for 3/12/25.

Divided by 12, that's 112,744 and some change... probably a couple of baker's dozens in there....

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 26 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Looks like ~53k monthly active users, I think that's a better stat, since it doesn't include people making new alts and abandoning their old accounts.

Welcome everyone!

Dont stress about which instance you join. Took me 3 tries before I found the one I like, but I was able to see most of the stuff from each one.

Welcome! It's nice and comfy here, if a little less of an infinite content-hose compared to Reddit. You might need to do a little more heavy lifting yourself in terms of posting and commenting, but on the plus side - people actually read what you post, instead of being drowned by a deluge of spam and bots! And discussions are mostly friendly and civil!
