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.

Why would they even do that T_T.
They vastly overestimated their users' willingness to pay for content and put up with their bullshit.
I thought that too. And then nothing happened when Reddit killed third party apps. The Reddit userbase will continue to bend and spread. As long as Spez spits on it first, theyβll continue to take it.
We're all here aren't we?
I'm glad you could make it! I don't really care personally whether 100 people or 100 million people are using Reddit. It's dead and gone to me now.
And weβre a drop in the bucket compared to the Reddit userbase. A rounding error. Some impact we made.
So "wahhh it has to be everyone, immediately, at all once, 100% replacement!"
Dude, new product is in the market and going on fine.
I'm not quite sure that's true. Maybe in raw numbers, but we're a living, breathing base of contributing users helping to keep a whole platform and community alive. It doesn't matter if the Federation isn't purely made up of former Reddit users as we've assimilated. Every contribution we make on this platform is one more that the last one doesn't get. Votes, posts, comments, it's all here and not there. I would very much like us to get to the size where the sports subs are active during game threads, but we're still having an impact.
I can live without the sports subs. In fact Lemmy feels a lot like how Reddit felt around 2010. I wouldn't mind keeping it small like this.
Sorry you didn't change the world. I'm content not thinking about websites I don't use.
Eh. It's got impact enough on my life - I don't use Reddit anymore.
That's okay though.
Depends who you ask. Reddit likely didn't notice any difference, but I'd say the difference on Lemmy is quite drastic.
Yes. When you moved, everyone else did too. We're all NPCs in your RPG.
Well that's not true. Reddit is definitely different than it was at the start of the year
Not only that, but the insistence on seeing everything as zero-sum is fucking ridiculous.
βWell we didnβt even take down a massive corporation with an install base of hundreds of millions!! Hmph. Why even bother βΉοΈβ
How old are these people? Are they for real? Lol
It's probably still growing, losing old users and gaining others, to become about as interesting as Facebook has been for over 10 years now.
