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.

Right now the strategy is "sit there and hope it catches on" so... open to really any suggestions beyond that.

It's not a niche community, so it's both harder and easier that way - you can't promote it in any niche communities, but it also has somewhat broader appeal.

Here are some ideas (don’t spam):

Make YouTube videos in which you feature the content of that community and provide a link in the description.

Write interesting articles on other social media in which you feature content from the community and provide a link to it, where they can find more content.

Occasionally feature a thread on Mastodon or Twitter in which something interesting happened in the community and provide a link.

Answer a common question on sites like Stack Overflow, Quora, or similar with content from your community and link it back to the post the content came from as a reference. People will see your community as a learning resource, if that’s what it is.

Keep pushing meaningful content to the community. It will appear in the “new” threads in kbin/Lemmy and interested people will take a look.

When people comment, interact with them and try to foster more conversation with questions. The more good comments and replies the higher your thread will rank and show in the “active” or “hot” threads. And with that more people will wish to comment and join the conversation, pushing it up even higher if you can keep them engaged.
