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 was there since... I actually dont remember. This was 2 accounts before my current account. It was back when the slashdot 2 redesign came out and pissed everyone off. I think that was 2011? Currently I have 100k+ karma on my newest reddit account and looked elsewhere the moment I realized they were about to effectively kill the site with this boneheaded decision. I watched Slashdot and digg become irrelevant and were probably witnessing Reddit becoming irrelevant too. It used to be one of the most expansive sites that you could create your own content bubble on and then Reddit basically killed apps and although I rarely used them, the effect of others effectively being driven off the site had a huge impact. Reddit is a husk of what it once was and I have never seen anything even approaching this in all the time I have been there. Unfortunately we are in the zone of pain where Reddit's ability to generate content collapsed AND alternatives like Lemmy haven't caught on enough to bridge the gap... yet.
