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.

If you want your app used so much, just make it snappy damn
This is what's amazing. They could make a good, ad-supported app, but they seem to insist they don't need to while wondering why everyone's angry about third party apps going away.
Reddit never needed to fix their own hilariously-bad failure of an app, they could have just bought any of the ready-made, popular, beloved third-party apps out there for far less than this fiasco is costing them now. Old Twitter did this back in the day, some of their official clients started out as successful third-party apps.
Spez is out there being an insane libelous asshole to Christian Selig when he could have just hired him.
Yes, like I could give their beloved role model Instagram as an example. They very rarely prompt users to download their app in a small box on their website. And I still use the app because it's so snappy.
And they even have a Lite version (~2mb) in case their phone can't handle the original app.
This is such an interesting idea actually, spez please make a lite app. Look, Wall Street people have that as well!
How can they do all the data collection then?
idk Instagram probably knows the color of my underwear but it's still pretty fast. It's an IT problem more than anything
What's sad is that they had Alien Blue to work with which was a great app. I honestly was excited for the official app to come out. It was a big let down.
