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.

It's true. They changed the platform and improved my overall experience by making me not want to use it.

My last post on Reddit got removed.

It was "🖕🤡🖕u/spez"

But apparently that's considered a personal attack.

I think it was the emoji though, because I was once banned for posting "🖕" too, which was nothing personal. I guess they just don't like emojis.

Well to be fair, if you post "Fuck [Insert Admin Name]" to an instance that the admin controls, you'd likely get that post removed and possibly banned from the instance, especially if that Admin is also the owner of the instance.

[–] flipthetube 16 points 1 year ago

I’ve yet to see an instance owner/admin behave in such a way to deserve such a gesture. It’s nice.

[–] abfarid 66 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I love pixel art and am a retro nerd, and I still don't like that change.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It looks SO BAD. The Snoo feels weirdly squished vertically. What happened to the ears?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

It's because it's really ugly pixel art

[–] Hiru 63 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Guys can we forget for good about the old country?

[–] SomeoneElse 148 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You’re commenting in a community called “Reddit”…

[–] Hiru 65 points 1 year ago

Fair enough mate 😅

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to.

ETA: This pushed me to finally uninstall it

[–] MrCrankyBastard 2 points 1 year ago

Something Something learn from the past Something Something repeat it.

You reminded me the sequel trilogy exists….

I guess they try to cling onto their most successful community event with the pixel-canvas, as there is not a lot they can still be proud of?

[–] fernfrost 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I guess they will have to moderate / censor it this year because I have a feeling huge portions of the canvas will be about /u/Spez

[–] FlyingSquid 38 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh man, imagine a huge part of the canvas being 'FEDIVERSE' or 'LEMMY.'

[–] fernfrost 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think that’s inevitable this time. I could imagine they consider a whole new community event this year because of potential protests.

It would be great if the next iteration of /r/place was just absolutely spammed with lemmy/kbin/mastodon/fediverse/etc logos lol

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago

even this community's icon looks better now

[–] Shialac 30 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Why did they scale down their logo

[–] FlyingSquid 65 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because the original logo is behind a paywall. I'm not joking.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Sorry what? A paywall for logos?

[–] FlyingSquid 50 points 1 year ago (3 children)
[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Holy shit you weren’t joking

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

It's kind of funny at this point

[–] gorillakitty 16 points 1 year ago

The only free alternatives are dogecoin or WSB? Wtf? Who the hell decided this... oh yeah. We all know who.

[–] The_Jit 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did not believe you, but you were not wrong...

The free ones are “OrangeRed” (the pixelated one), “Doge,” and “Wall Street,

Thanks for the link!

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 1 year ago

I didn't believe it either to be honest. It's so damn petty.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago

It’s a change to improve your overall experience

[–] fernfrost 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but only if they are pixel pals

So long Reddit... It's been emotional

[–] nostalgicgamerz 7 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It was quite emotional for me a month ago tbh. But Lemmy has been fantastic and I've moved on.

I’m surprised Apple approved this for the App Store. Extorting money for an icon, and posting something that looks low quality or like a bug.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

That rating is awfully high. Would be a shame if something happened to it ...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

2.7 on play store lol

"Look ma, I'm adding user value!"

[–] UnknownQuantity 6 points 1 year ago

How does reddit app have rating of 4.8 on appstore while play store rating is 2.7?

[–] ilickfrogs 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd love to hop on the hate bandwagon. But I've got enough reasons to hate reddit. Given r/place opens up very shortly I would wager it's a temporary icon in pixel art for the pixel art event... just a guess.

If I'm wrong that should absolutely violate AppStore guidelines though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Given that they give you the option to pay to get the old reddit icon back... It might be temporary but the old icon is not coming back.

[–] Etterra 4 points 1 year ago

Yes but do they have Lunar real estate to sell me?
