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.

Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

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 wouldn't know, I haven't gone since the blackouts.
same -I even removed the bookmark from firefox. used to be the first one on the right, now it's my email or something.
Still trying to figure out if I want to lemmy or kbin.
Lemmy seems more popular, but the dynamic feed is disruptive sometimes like I'll be reading a headline or looking at a thumbnail blown up by Imagus extension and then it shifts suddenly.
Kbin is more stable from that perspective, but I somehow have -2 rep points (that I care about for some stupid reason) despite having (so far) more ups than downs on my few comments. OH and the very frequent 503 errors on random pages, but I suspect that's growing pains from an enormous influx
-still haven't quite removed rif from the phone though. might check on it 7/1 and see if it works or not
Right now, kbin is using boosts for the positive and downvotes for negative reputation points. I think there's a proposal to change to upvotes for the positive points.
I see, good to know that there's at least a proposal out there to make this less confusing!
About the -2 rep issue. I've found that what looks like the upvote button is actually the favourite button. The "Boost" button at the bottom seems to be the one that actually gives rep points. I think the buttons need to be swapped as it feels kinda misleading as to what they actually do at times
Same here. Reddit was becoming a big negative drain on me.
