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.

Same here. Came over in the digg migration, left when 3rd party apps died.
Does this feel like Reddit did then? Does to me.
I'll piggyback and say that it feels similar. The biggest difference is not having huge default subs shaping the experience. Lemmy also feels more sparse in the comments, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Agreed. Feels like early Reddit did. Lower quantity, higher quality.
Another thing is I feel like I'm trying harder to contribute positively; I want Lemmy to succeed so that (hopefully) we can avoid the enshitification that inevitably plagues the commercialized platforms.
Totally agree. I’ve only posted a pun a handful of times!
I'm fine with a few hundred or two size type comments. Reddit had threads with like 1.4k comments or even double that sometimes. While it's nice to have that type of size, I am NOT reading all those comments, so the size is irrelevant after a certain threshold point.
I think this is a good point. When I got here, before I started shaping my feed, it was basically rule196, furry porn, tankies and memes.
Actually... A lot like Reddit in the Digg days, minus the tankies.
Less "gems" and rage comics and "Le", but the same idea, modernized for 2023.
It was those of us (probably in this Lemmy thread, ironically, 15 years-ish later) who outlasted the Le gems of Reddit, and turned it into the modern place.
Then, spez. Fuck spez
There's similarities, but it's a little more empty, and it's a little too reposty from other sites still. reddit then felt a bit more like the place, this isn't that yet.
Kinda? I was a lot younger then, and this feels way more left wing politically now. Maybe I just got more conservative as I aged, or the internet got more left wing. Or maybe a little of both.
Or, maybe, the world is more liberal than you've been led to believe as your circle of influence grew smaller as you got older.
Stopping in to drop a semi-ironic "this^"
10 years ago people would write "this^" without a trace of irony on Reddit. So you are kinda ruining the experience by being semi-ironic.
Only semi-ruining tho. Life is about balance ;)
Reality has a liberal bias
Same. Never going back.
Same boat. I remember being a big fan of Digg (and Kevin Rose), and looking down upon "new" copycat... Reddit. Then they completely changed (removed voting?) almost overnight, and so I gave Reddit a chance. Loved it (and later Sync) and used almost daily! Until... well, fuck Steve Huffman, we all know what happened. Hello Lemmy.
I have not deleted account or comments yet, but logged out everywhere, try to never visit, and will never use the (ad-infested) app. Lemmy community (and Liftoff) has been great, just needs to keep growing with good people.
Digg migrant here as well. I'm getting cozy over here now, not looking back.
Me too!
