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.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Maybe I'll updoot, maybe I'll downdoot who knows? You don't have to worry about internet points here

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Happy to be here. Leaving reddit for this place was a great decision. 💪

Welcome. I think you will like it here. We're kind of like reddit except we aren't trying to make money from you, or your content. And we are more likely to follow the golden rule. And swear. Lots of swearing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

and we don't limit or kill 3rd party app support, but rather support them, and even have a page about apps for lemmy which are, 3rd party

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

DOZENNNNNSSSSSS

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Be mindful of the smug "Lemmy Culture" hipsters, they'll eventually weed themselves out or self segregate though as more normies flow in.

I welcome the masses.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

nazis can stay the fuck out, though.

Welcome to the fediverse everyone

It's like our own Reddit but with blackjack and hookers

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

and without fascist rules like banned keywords nazi Luigi etc, fuck reddit

[–] [email protected] 91 points 2 days ago (7 children)

This is my first post, on my first day here, and it feels pretty good.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 days ago (8 children)

It’s kind of a rush picking a username knowing most are still available.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

UltraGiGaGigantic2 is still available

Here, have some beans.

We don't do pay-a-social-media-ceo-to-win around here, we do beans. Practical, eatable, 100% all natural digital beans.

Some other users may be able to gift you a proper lemmy kilmister commerative gold token, but I don't have the jpg.

EDIT: oh right, a possibly useful warning:

About a month or two ago, lemmy seems to have attracted its first mass spam bot, dming thousands of users with basically a phising email.

If you get a message from 'Fediverse Chick', that's not her, someone stole her image, just block the user.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Or come discussing her at [email protected]

How come theres been an influx of users recently? Did reddit shit the bed again?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Yes they started banning thousands of active users for “inciting violence” if you say things like “fuck Elon musk” or “my favorite character in super Mario bros is Luigi”

Reddit recently started doubling down on far-right actions. Like making it so you can be banned for just upvoting a post that breaks the rules, or banning you for saying the name "Luigi."

Personally, I recently got permabanned for being truthful about fascists.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

say luigi and get warned

what did luigi do to you, reddit?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I got a warning today about upvoting violence. The only thing I have upvoted in the last little while is pro-Canada stuff like elbows up. If that gets me kicked off Reddit then fuck them and fuck spez the little pig boy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

For some people, Trump has shit the bed (invasion threats, trade wars etc) and has stimulated a number of people to move away from US-controlled services and products.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

For me I left Reddit recently and switched because Reddit made a change that broke the Boost app.

This seems really cool. It's taking me a bit to get used to but honestly I'll probably stay here.

Welcome everyone!

Dont stress about which instance you join. Took me 3 tries before I found the one I like, but I was able to see most of the stuff from each one.

Happy to be here! I love finding alternative platforms to the big ones, I'm a forum nerd and soon I'm thinking about moving one from phpBB 3 to either Discourse or Node.bb and having it join ActivityPub. I hope more people will join lemmy soon!

glad to be here!

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I'm loving it already! And...I'm not scrolling through ads too!!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Back with the API fiasco is when I stopped using Reddit because there's no way I'm using the official app with the amount of ads there are

Can some people who are willing to post something other than American politics and Reddit bashing posts join lemmy soon, I'm sick of my entire feed being nothing but all these negative topics

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

Big things are happening in the world right now. I know that it sucks.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Have you considered making the world less negative?
