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.

I haven’t gone back since Apollo shut down, and not planning to, but I am curious.

Ah, yes, typical reddit addict having withdrawal syndrome.

Don't look back...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is it withdrawal symptoms if I'm only curious out of spite?

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

Same, lol. I gave up reddit as soon as the protest started. Been on 4chan to pass the time, but lemmy has really picked up the last week.

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

Yes. You have to break away 100%. Cold turkey is a bitch!

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

Lol I wouldn't really call it a bitch, I haven't been on since they announced their plans. I just want any corporations to burn when possible

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lemmy is my new Reddit addiction. With Lemmy becoming more vibrant I’m missing Reddit less and less, though Lemmy still has a ways to go.

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

Getting better daily though.

Haha.

I find the best way to handle withdrawal is to change your habit. I spent time grabbing a few books, and spent a few days with my Kindle or with Foliate fullscreen on my HDTV.

So before, I'd probably spend time answering r/firefox, looking at r/firefoxcss - now I start with 1/2 hour reading Great Expectations. After reading a chapter, I play the same chapter via audiobook - meanwhile I have a couple of TV/Movie versions queued up to watch after finishing reading.

After that I'd probably get into some DadJokes - I can do that on https://lemmy.world/c/dadjokes

Next up, an hour reading The Midnight Library

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

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

Hello!

May I ask why you are listening to the same chapter after reading it? :) Is it to retain the information or just to not miss anything? Do you do the same regardless if you're reading fiction or non-fiction?

Most movies and tv shows are from books, and reading the book is 99.5% better.

Think of talking Bladerunner movie and doing it as a 30 minute short.

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

As much as I want to, I still gotta browse Reddit to get updates related to my niche.

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

Excuses, excuses.

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

I’ll be honest I was having withdraws until I found out about memmy

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

Oh I am lol. I just wanted something to browse during work and Memmy does just that

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

That's how it starts!

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

Tbh this is filling that void. Think I checked reddit once since Apollo died

i have relapsed for the past several days... mostly because my app (boost) has not yet been shut down.

i have been enjoying my fix, but I it does leave me feeling dirty.

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

As a fellow booster... You're a whore 😉. Hoping rmayayo really does put together a lemmy/fediverse app.

I'd LAUNCH the Rocket!

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

There's a registration up on the Play store to download it once it releases, and he did a pretty open announcement on the Boost for Reddit app.

I'd say somethings coming of it, at the very least.

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

Yeah, I'm in. Supposedly automatically downloading when available.
