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.

Seeking Ideas on Archiving Reddit Posts on Lemmy (lemmy.world)

Hey everyone,

As many of you may have heard, Reddit has recently decided to become a closed platform due to financial reasons, which has left us concerned about preserving the rich history of discussions and content on the site. However, there's good news! We have found an alternative platform called Lemmy, where we can continue our vibrant community.

Now, our main challenge lies in archiving the vast amount of valuable posts and discussions from Reddit and migrating them to Lemmy. I believe it's crucial to preserve this history and make it accessible to future users and researchers. Therefore, I would like to gather ideas and suggestions from all of you on how we can achieve this daunting task effectively.

If you have any experience or knowledge in mass archiving, data migration, or similar projects, please share your thoughts and recommendations. Let's brainstorm together and find a way to safeguard our cherished Reddit posts on Lemmy.

Thank you all for your support and dedication to preserving online history!

Note: Please keep the focus of this discussion on archiving and migration ideas. Let's refrain from discussing the reasons behind Reddit's decision or engaging in negative comments. This is a constructive effort to ensure the preservation of our community's contributions.

Looking forward to your insights!
