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.

Is that true though?
We have huge communities that are either completely unmoderated or have huge swaths of “the mods are asleep” time. And the assholes have picked up on it.
I definitely suffer more verbal abuse on Lemmy than I ever did on Reddit.
I’m sticking around for other reasons, but definitely not the warm and cuddly large communities.
Curious. May I ask, what are people verbally abusing you for? I did a quick skim over your recent comments and I found nothing really controversial, my profile is probably more controversial than yours and I have yet to receive a single grumpy message
that has been the opposite of my experience.
and i frequently bring up controversial topics here that would get some bigger communities on reddit rabid.
and when people respond negatively, they are very rarely an asshole about it.
Block those communities or ask the admins of your instance to defederate if there's not much redeeming content from the offending instance(s).
I’ve unsubbed, but the community in question is a major source of content so I’m not about to block it. I just treat the comments like I do on YouTube.
I don't really get verbal abuse but I feel like there are a lot more posts that I click on with the intent of commenting only to read the existing comments and deciding not to comment so I don't wade into pile of shit.
No. Lemmy had a lull in toxicity during the fuck Spez rush, but my toxic meter reads way higher here than on reddit (although any anonymous community is going to lean toxic).
I think consenting opinions are even less welcome here than on Reddit. Which is wild, considering Reddit already wasn’t great with it.
Right?
And also, I noticed that when I decide to be a dick (not proud of it, but hey what can you do), I always get away with it. On Reddit eventually a mod wakes up and takes charge.
On Lemmy sometimes the comments just vanish when mods get to them. On reddit I always would get a notice and explanation at least.
On Lemmy, the modlog is not hidden and is open to all.
I don't know how you're seeing it on sh.it.just.works, but on lemmy.world it's a link in the lower right of every page, down at the very end where it says
To see removed comments you would sort by action. Or if it's your own comments that are gone, you would sort by user. And then just browse.
It's sorted by reverse date, so newest are first, but if the removal is within the last day it'll still be in the first couple of pages.
I also am fairly certain (but don't quote me on this) that if you want to see the removed comments for a specific community you should access the modlog on that page, to ensure that you're seeing the modlog for the instance hosting that community and not the modlog for your home instance.
No, Reddit did not always inform you when they removed your comments; far from it. In the bigger subs it's actually rare, and anymore they just remove AND shadowban you. Removed comments used to be easy to find, but these days post-APIcalypse you need to run your Reddit user ID through the Reveddit tool to see all your removed comments there.
Thee comments sort of vanish but not quite, and the reply guys still seem to be able to find them somehow. There’s probably something wonky about how mod actions are federated.
Oh no, meanness!
Yea I don't know where the "reddit so toxic, Lemmy so good" stuff is coming from. Reddit was never toxic in recent years, just generic as shit with the same comments everywhere.
Lemmy has far more... Passionate users, to put it kindly.
Nah dude, you can't be serious. It obviously varies between the communities and the bubble you created for yourself on Reddit. But even in the smaller somewhat niche subs I frequented had people acting toxic and hostile. And it became more and more in recent years. And I am definitely not talking about all the manospehre, incel and cringe subs. Those are on a whole other level of toxic and at least as bad as similar algorithmic bubbles on Twitter.
There is also toxicity on Lemmy, too. But you can just manage what you consume so much better. Never encountered Hexbear stuff outside of drama posts for example.
reddit have more rude comments
In my experience, every single time I ever posted anything on Reddit I would get like 1 or 2 genuine nice and or helpful replies and the test would be anger and hate. Here that does happen but it’s much rarer, at least to me, so far
From my experience reddit has gotten waaaaay more toxic over the last few years. And that toxicity was only increasing. I had fairly carefully curated my subscriptions there too, so it wasn't like I was signed up to only shitty subs.
