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.

Howdy.
Each instance has their own admin rukes and further each community has their own too.
You're on lemmy.world but you can still I subscribe and interact with communities created elsewhere
Instances are similar to subreddits?
I suggest you can watch this image, i think that will be easier for you to understand

Omg thank u for this comic thingy
Also, communities in your "all" feed are ones that someone has already subscribed to from lemmy.world.
U welcome :)
I suggest we stop sharing this until someone updates it. The beehaw part hasn't been accurate in months.
Oh yeah, you are right, but that's the most visualised version I could found at the moment
No. Instance is like the full Reddit website, subreddits are communities here that are hosted in those instances. Check this comment, is very illustrative.
No, each instance is like its own reddit website with its own subreddits (aka communities). But because of how federation works, instances are interconnected so you can also browse content from other instances on the instance you signed up with.
Sometimes, but not always. Lemmy is forum software and each website that hosts it is an "instance" of the lemmy software. Some are general focus such as lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Others are more themed like lemdro.id and lemmy.studio
Ones with a a focus are just more likely to have communities (subreddits) based around that theme but you can still subscribe to [email protected] from your account for example.
What power does those admins posses and I hope they don't shadow ban people for being a new account
Shadowbanning doesn't exist here 😁 and karma has no effect. Most apps will not even display your total karma, by design
Admins have a lot of power, they're running the software and often paying for upfront server costs. The good thing is they only have power over their slice of the broader lemmy.
If you don't like how your admins run the instance you can just make an account on another. Account transferring isn't a thing yet but there are tools to transfer your subscriptions and blocks.
