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.

You didn't have to say you're new - the fact that you thought you could get banned for that post screams it! That's the good ole Reddit PTSD. Folks are more chill and friendly here. Also, maybe 5 people fully understand the system, so we're all learning.
One little bug that I think makes this whole situation more confusing is that not interacting with a thread for long enough (opening several tabs, walking away while ready comments, etc.), your browser could stop updating the state of the page. When you go to subscribe or comment or vote, you get hit with one of two errors. I had assumed that was part of this whole who-can-talk-to-who fediverse confusion. It's not. It's just a bug you can get around by refreshing the page.
As for combining posts, that's something in the works, but there's no karma and most people I've come across don't give two shits about the various bugged equivalents. If you're going to submit a post, check to see if it's already already being talked about on another instance. There's no etiquette for how to handle that yet, so I think it might make sense to just post a link to the federated post that that people in that subscribed magazine/community get directed to the larger discussion. Or maybe do this and say you want to talk about some specific aspect more.
And yes, there's lots under construction here, but nobody was prepared for this deluge. Seriously, from ~3,500 users between kbin and lemmy to ~2 million now. We know that the devs are hard at work, so it isn't like it's an abandoned project. But, I'll take this community over Reddit's any day.
Probably 2 million accounts, not 2 million users
Account numbers are a bad metric due to bot account creation spam on bot instances. 116,000 active users, 2 million bots. Thankfully the bots have been mostly reduced to their own little defederated corner of lemmy at this point it seems.
Thank you. Yes it's the future trust me. I'm loving every aspect of lemmy the more I'm learning about it. I already cannot go back to reddit power tripping mods and censorship. Now I understand how the fedverses are and 100% agree that's how things should be. I think it's the future of the internet. The internet has been infected with something called centlization and silicon vally greed. I watch more ads than videos when I use Twitch and Youtube. Twitter and Reddit coming up with more dictatorship laws and their only goals are IPO value and pleasing advertisers. People need to move away from these centrilized giants that stand for nothing but montization of user's data and greed.
