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 only people would actually stop using Reddit instead of doing these useless “protests” like they do in /r/videos. They're still using the site, that's what Reddit wants...

I've been waiting for my third party app to break. Boost finally stopped working an hour ago so I signed up here.

[–] KennethDK 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Signed up three days ago but was still using Boost until it stopped working just now. Am now figuring out how Lemmy works.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Just FYI, the developer of Boost is making a version for Lemmy. I'll definitely be downloading it once it's available.

The Lemmy boost version is already in development and you can sign up for it already on the app store!

Mine also finally stopped about an hour ago 😭 Good bye, Boost

[–] gunslingerfry 1 points 1 year ago

I uninstalled on the 1st. I didn't want the dev to get hit with a giant bill

Welcome aboard! There’s now over 400,000 of us! (Source).

Boost is still working for me, but I haven't logged in/engaged since the blackout. If it does go any day now, I'm okay with that.

[–] Dark_Blade 1 points 1 year ago

Same, ‘cept my 3PA died a few hours before it should’ve. Reddit admins are clowns.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

It's still working for me?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The protests aren't all useless, necessarily.

Subs that go NSFW are depriving Reddit of advertising revenue, and sites that change their purpose are likely to drive away some users who don't want to shitpost, who might then go looking for alternatives.

[–] kroy 1 points 1 year ago

except they are useless when reddit will just remove anybody that doesn't play ball

I doubt it's seriously hurting Reddit, if at all. People would really hurt Reddit if they just stopped using it entirely. No posting, no commenting and no lurking.
