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
 

Notice there is only 1 full headline (from /r/NoStupidQuestions) visible, it doesn't even show the full post. There are 3 of those "trending" boxes but only 2 of those even fit their headlines because they are like 3 words long, they cut off anything longer including the description

I originally became addicted to Reddit because of how streamlined it was to skim dozens of headlines and pick from lots of content, seems they have decided content is not something they want to provide anymore :/

At first glance I thought it was youtube.

Is the old.reddit.com still usable or is that fucked up too?

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 year ago (2 children)

old.reddit.com is still kickin it. No talk I've heard of to get rid of it yet. The second it's gone I'm gone.

In case you didn't know and for everyone else that prefers the old UI there is a clone for lemmy.

https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

lemmy.world has it installed at https://old.lemmy.world. The creator has it running at https://mlmym.org/ for other instances that don't have it installed.

Wow that's pretty accurate.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, I never knew that was a thing! Old Reddit style Lemmy needs to be brought up more.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It was on the front page of lemmy.world for a bit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It doesn't have some modern conveniences like the ability to block just FYI to those reading along at home. It's pretty bit it's not as functional as many others.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago

Old Reddit is Reddit. If they get rid of it, I'm sure as fuck not sticking around for this new site. It looks like Bing and Youtube had a deformed little monster-child.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It seems they recently fucked up something with i.redd.it handling - opening image links from old reddit always redirects to https://old.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/media/nice_hat/ for a few days now.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No that's intentional. They no longer allow direct i.redd.it image linking, it forces a redirect to a landing page that is either old.reddit if you're logged in and force it, or new reddit with a "get the app, doofus" nag screen for anyone not logged in.

They didn't want anyone using Reddit as an image hosting service or - God forbid! - viewing Reddit content without delivering every ounce of their personal data and ad revenue to Spez.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's ironic because i.reddit links work perfectly fine to repost content on Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Well it hasn't worked for inline embeds for me for a hot minute. You can still browse to it of course, but now you have to open a new tab and deal with the "GET APP!!!" pop-ups every 3 seconds.

yeah same here... I was like, youtube has text posts now?

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

Text posts on YouTube are pretty nice though. I like that people can post channel updates like saying there's gonna be a delay on a video or something without having to film and post a video to do so.
