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 love that everyone is mad in the thread
I'm also confused why they're still on Reddit and not over here. Join us, content creators and talented people.
Just came from Reddit. Still testing it out.
Welcome. I am enjoying the Connect app with AMOLED theme and small icons and text. Feels RIF-like.
For me its Voyager
Why is my comment box white text on a white background? I can't see shit.
We made it that way as a prank.
Jokes aside, sorry that's happening to you, hopefully you'll find a solution. Failing everything, get on Jerboa.
They'd rather gargle reddit balls and complain about the taste than to lose their mod status. Nothing else to it. Let them gargle, they have the platform they deserve.
That's a rather rude thing to say about people whilst they make an effort to help their communities.
Cool, they can use their subreddits to reroute their communities to better platforms then.
I'm starting to see the bad Reddit mods on Lemmy as well.
Yeah it was just a matter of time. Some of Reddit's problems weren't due to the corporation but due to human nature and the kind of people that seek out power.
If we could figure out a way to reward good mods without encouraging overmoderation, I think that would make a huge difference. Also kinda hilarious if it's financial, if Lemmy starts paying some of its mods while Reddit continues to exploit them for free, but it would require a revenue source.
Damn, really? Which communities?
I keep my account so when I see things like this I can go shit on them from a great height.
Thus providing the engagement they need.
Less engagement than before though
Because they can't bring themselves to give up their mod status and "power" on there.
ehh, im over here, i saw the link from here to here, and posted my 2 cents where i can lend support.. while basically having quit reddit.
As much as it would be amazing to move everyone over, reddit communities represent years of cultivation and community organizing. Trying to rebuild that again isn't an easy task, and it shouldn't have to be done at all. This site should belong to the people who put in all the unpaid volunteer hours, not money-grubbing shareholders and CEOs. I can see why some people are so reluctant to abandon the community efforts they have worked diligently on for years. That being said I hope they all decide to ditch reddit and come over here as well.
All moderators are, at best, sub-human.
The sad truth is that Lemmy is still a very buggy pile of alpha software that barely works.
I wouldn't call it alpha, but man, does it have UI problems.
I disagree. I had to reload the page to post the previous comment. Because text box was not opening when pressing reply. And that happens regularly. And there are like shit loads of other bugs. And don't get me started on Jerboa... You see, I have 20 years of software development experience. Lemmy as is today is great, but it's a very very early alpha. Buggy as hell and completely unusable by anyone except for enthusiasts. It doesn't even be publicly accessible in my opinion.
I don't care about bugs much myself, I have my workarounds. But your average Joe will be shocked by the state of Lemmy. And that will hurt Lemmy in the long run. The dev team should focus real hard on improving end user experience and fixing bugs. Nothing else matters at the moment.
