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 both. Firefox for Android lets you run uBlockOrigin, effectively killing the ads.
Some other browsers (I use Kiwi because Firefox is buggy on my phone) also let you use ublock, and sometimes I wish I couldn't use it because I hate ads so much I probably wouldn't waste as much time browsing the net if I couldn't block them :)
Kiwi in particular has full extension support, so I can run unhook for Youtube and some other stuff like dark reader. I'm sure someone will come up with some other extension that just tricks Reddit into working in a mobile browser if there is enough demand.
Ads on reddit are self-served. DNS can’t block that
Guys, sign up for and use NextDNS. Sometimes you have to disable it for asshole companies like ticketmaster, but for the most part you won't see any ads anymore. Unfortunately it doesn't work for ads served from as content from the website, like Facebook does, and possibly the Reddit app. I have never and will never install the Reddit app, so I can't comment on that one.
