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.

Amazing that a blind man can draw comics.
It sucks to get banned for life from somewhere you love for doing something you didn't feel was wrong, but holy hell, Musk absolutely threw up a Nazi salute.
Assuming this is the info box in new Reddit, those stats always felt... wrong
The difference between comments/votes and supposed "views" made it seem like the later was inflated.
Even more obvious was when something got posted at odd hours of the night in a local community. The view count would take off shortly after, while the comments and votes would only show up around when people wake up.
I think you severely underestimate the amount of people who just browse and don't interact with stuff.
Could be partly explained by the language (and or cultural) barrier of the people from other parts of the world who view the post at night - when it's daytime in their country.
By local community I meant one that's specific to a small local area (ex. School, municipality). It's possible that people from other parts of the world are seeing the post in the All type feeds, but I found it odd that only views went up while comments and votes didn't until morning.
It makes sense for the cause to be bots, but that makes the number deceptive since it's implying that your post reached a certain number of human viewers. It should be possible to adjust that number based on their estimates of humans vs. bots
Also, bots would likely inflate that number pretty drastically.
Truly inspiring
You can do anything. Except criticising musk. Thats too far.
