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.

It's bad. I'm not just saying that, I have tolerated a lot of site ux changes that other people hated (Slashdot beta?!), but the site is so much worse now. All the posts in r/help are about how bad it is. I haven't seen an official announcement so I'll try to summarize the obvious changes:

some style differences. Normally not a big deal, but up/down vote seem more cramped on my tiny phone screen for post listings.
my feed is full of communities I don't care about. Reddit is "helpfully" trying to introduce me to new communities, but I purposefully didn't join r/pics, thanks. There are soooo many suggested posts none of which I'm interested in.
if you open a post, the link back to the community is even smaller and harder to click than before.
posts now include an ad section of "other posts you may like", which seem to be popular posts that I already read in the past. Thanks but I already read them, why are you suggesting them?
(edit to add) actually the "other posts you may like" includes random links to content on other subs I'm not interested in. It's like the developers had to implement 10 different "features" to cross link posts and this is the best they could do in 4 hours.

I closed the site at this point. Share your own bad experience below

Reddit is just turning more and more into Digg.
