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.

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
Maybe don't hang out on a toxic website.
Haha thanks. “I was today years old” when I found out about Lemmy.World
Welcome to Lemmy, glad you're here. :)
Thanks! I’m excited that there’s finally a decent alternative to Reddit.
there's been for quite a few months now
Had no idea
since mid june 2023
Ah fairly recent then. How did you find Lemmy?
late june joined officaly july 3rd
How did you find out about Lemmy tho?
the reddit api incident like alot of us here
For sure. Did you find Lemmy through a Google search?
no.
How’d you find it?
well, r/balticstates blacked out and it lead me to a link to a post on Apollo (that wefwef/voyager is based on) an Reddit app, that mentioned it had to shutdown. i think i eventually discovered r/save3rdpartyapps too.
Ah that makes sense. Using anything else similar to Lemmy?
well
similar to lemmy: kbin, pixelfed, mastodon, mbin, kbin
similar to Reddit: fling up, (mabye) raddle
Thanks! Heard of kbin and mastadon. I’ll check them out.
Welcome! Lemmy isn't perfect, but it's far, far less toxic, in my opinion...
Thanks! I’m glad there’s a decently sized community here and a functioning alternative UI. I’ve already experienced a little toxicity, but all in all positive so far. Hopefully when the user base grows the toxicity doesn’t grow with it.
Yeah, it's beyond redemption in my opinion. Every decision they've made in the past few years has been horrible and anti-user...
