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.

MODERATORS
 

An era of the internet is ending, and we’re watching it happen practically in real time. Twitter has been on a steep and seemingly inexorable decline for, well, years, but especially since Elon Musk bought the company last fall and made a mess of the place. Reddit has spent the last couple of months self-immolating in similar ways, alienating its developers and users and hoping it can survive by sticking its head in the sand until the battle’s over. (I thought for a while that Reddit would eventually be the last good place left, but… nope.) TikTok remains ascendent — and looks ever more likely to be banned in some meaningful way. Instagram has turned into an entertainment platform; nobody’s on Facebook anymore....

Yeah, that's the killer. Reddit was great because I could join a hundred communities and see all of them in one place. Sounds like we need a common forum aggregator of some sort.

Or Lemmy. Liking it so far.

Same. Only thing I'm missing so far is some of my favorite communities like r/onepunchman

I used to rely on it for notification of English translations of new chapters

Same, as well as several other anime communities. There is a OPM community here but so far it’s just a bot reposting Reddit posts with no other engagement.

More people need to bring up migrating to lemmy on those subreddits.

Are you unwilling to just look at that sub on a browser every now and then?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

A lot of people here deleted their Reddit accounts when they left.

And the upvoting allowed good stuff from any topic to percolate up. I don’t know too much but the barriers between instances may mean some good content from lesser sources may not be seen or the supporters remain fragmented.

But the latter was also true of Reddit. Good information from smaller subreddits still remained unseen, because of upvoting.

Binary voting isn't a perfect system, but so far it's proven to work well enough.

If a better mechanism proves itself in the future I imagine Lemmy will adapt to it over time.
