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:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

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.

The only thing that I was worried about with the alternatives was the websites being spammed with alt right content. Reddit users are not as unhinged as YouTube comments, Facebook, twitter etc. Im glad there’s no alt right content on lemmy. So I’m pretty happy here.
Also I don’t want to have a free speech debate. If you want to post edgy shit go to twitter. For me personally its not something I like. Im not really interested in having a debate. Just personal preference
There is absolutely alt-right content on lemmy. That said, it is mostly drowned out. I saw several alt-right communities when I joined lemmy 3 weeks ago with only 1 member. These people were trying to build echo chambers by themselves. Other lemmy users would come in and start posting articles from regular media which pretty much shut down. I think it's great that users here don't want to allow it to be a safe haven for that kind of stuff, unlike the numerous other "free speech" websites that actively encourage it.
Oh it's here, but luckily it's pushed to one side and easily blocked.
It needs to stay that way
Days late, but my first ever Fediverse experience was a Linux dude's pro-trans post that was cool, but then the comments were spammed with "N-word bot"( not written that way) shouting exactly what the name suggested, with tons of people cheering it on. It was the main reason I avoided it over here for a bit.
So theres absolutely shitty people here too, as in any community, but therer does seem to be less so far.
