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.

Holy shit.

I did not expect the next wave of new users on Lemmy to be happening this soon.

Poor Lemmy servers.

New LemmyFediverse boi since the Great Purge; this is seriously happening again, already? Glad I got out when I did. Compared to the old place, experiencing and interacting with Lemmy is like a calming dip in the Great Link (not a Changeling honest)

Yeah same. There are a couple of communities over there that I kind of miss, although one or two of them have been recreated on Lemmy basic nobody posts on the yet, or they get continually brigated.

I need to check out the other servers though. Lemmy is just so far superior to what Reddit was in how it's fundamentally designed.

Batten down the hatches mateys. Tharrr be a storm brewin' ☠️ 🏴‍☠️💀

Me neither. How long till old.reddit.com goes away? That was supposed to be the next big spike in the Lemmy growth curve.

I can't believe I read that whole thing. I take that back, I can't believe Reddit actually thought this was a good idea and put it out into the world.

Well in January I believe they told third party app developers that they weren't going to charge for the API this year (but that someone was in the works). Then May I believe is when reneged on that? June? I know the charging went into effect on July 1.

In May/June Spez said that old Reddit wasn't going anywhere. So we can extrapolate ~October for them to announce it's ending, and then it being killed by the end of the year.

I’m still using Old Reddit so the second it goes down you’ll definitely be hearing about it, at least from me 😉

At least we got some better mobile apps now. Hopefully Photon gets replaced as a front page on more instances too. That'd get a lot more people to stay.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Photon is really amazing. I hope it gets the support and attention it deserves

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Same

Oh well, can’t wait for the all new people to come here
