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.

Didn't even know it was recap season. I'm never going back.
I’m getting my doomscrolling and worthless banter/arguing with strangers “fix” from lemmy.
But Lemmy is no replacement for local news/rumormill, or most career/hobby subs, yet. Except for at a very high level. Like metro area, or “gaming”. Reddit is still far superior only because theres already a community there.
Eventually Lemmy may get to that point. Time will tell. I still haven’t installed the Reddit app, and I basically only end up there when some other search brings me to Reddit. I’ve already stopped muscle-memory impulsively typing it. My autocomplete for
www.redis no longer safe-for-work.I caved and downloaded the Reddit app to get my fix for more niche communities that don’t have Lemmy equivalents yet (I don’t have the time nor the energy to stand up new Lemmy communities).
The app is just so infuriating and information dense. I struggle to figure out what’s actually content and what’s just an advert. Navigating doesn’t make much sense either.
Stay away from the app. Use the website if you absolutely have to.
Yep. Really miss Apollo. Wefwef is a good replacement but nowhere near as polished. Haven’t looked at new apps in a while though.
Same here unironically
I still miss Apollo, I’m trying to use lemony more though
I still check reddit for community and user based experiences on topics I don't trust the Google bias with. The occasional 'Fuck Spez!' is a nice reminder.
Lemmy has the potential to become a future database of such kind but it'll take time. Well unless there's a disruption in the industry, that suddenly makes people move to or post more on Lemmy, like going viral through Hollywood maybe.
We still need to figure out a way to make it easier for younger and older people to use Lemmy, or it never happens.
