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.

Welcome, hope you like Linux memes…and beans.
And jeans!
Don't forget to apply to the No Poop Challenge!
Jokes aside, welcome. It's a bit messy but fun here. Make sure to take a look at how instances work, for most part you can ignore it but it does improve a lot your experience.
it's a bit messy
From all the users that failed the No Poop Challenge 😔
Nice. ☺️
I hope reddit dies
Nooooo, the poor 100 users and 2 billion bots!
Who cares? Reddit has historically had a ton of outtages. Why even post this?
Oh no! Anyways...
Damn it, you beat me to it.
I was looking something up and of course Reddit came up but kept telling me “YOU BROKE REDDIT”.
What a shitty way to express an issue that your site is causing for users. Just go ahead and blame the users. That’s great for noobs who don’t know anything and will legitimately think they did something wrong on their end.
why do honest communicstion when yould instead make people feel guilty and coerce them into coming back
Look, I hate reddit as much as the next person, but if you don't realize that page is a joke, you're too dumb for the internet.
Reddit.com still works. Old.reddit.com does not.
Wonder if they've decided to finally do away with old reddit?
Edit: Old.reddit is back up for what it's worth.
new.reddit.com still works it seems. I think they're going to take Old.Reddit.com offline, the bastards. If they do that, I may end up back here at Lemmy fulltime. I know none of you want that!
That's the final nail for a lot of people
I wish I still believed that

Same issue here.
I think it's just a temporary issue, but I really will stop using Reddit if old.reddit.com goes down. There are niches that just aren't on here... but that UI.
The UI is unacceptable and an exercise in everything wrong with modern UI.
Back up now for me, all frontends.
Both don't work for me.

When my Lemmy instance is down (which is very rare, much more stable than Reddit), I just browse via a different instance!
Another strength of decentralized social media
It’s beautiful. I’ve been here when world was down and the rest of Lemmy runs business as usual.
I wonder if they try to plan server updates around each other for this reason
Think of all the poor bots that can't repost!
In some faraway data center fan noise has reduced somewhat for the duration.
I'm all for substantial and lulzy schadenfreude, but this is service notification made into a daily mail article, that's when one starts seeming obsessed with a site one doesn't use anymore
To be fair, the day they actually kill old.reddit we can expect an influx of new users here, so it's still good to keep an eye on it
Hang on, I'm 3D printing a tiny violin.
...butt I'm on the toilet! I need my precious!
Use Lemmy
What's Lemmy?
Hell yeah
Not just the US. Can’t access it from NZ either.
I definitely prefer the vibe of lemmy but there’s still communities I visit on Reddit for reviews and discussions about more niche topics.
I was wondering why it kept giving me a "you broke reddit" error. Not that Im visiting reddit for funsies, but its where just about every troubleshooting search result takes me, which is frustrating.
It was you!!!!!!
What’s “reddit”?
^/s^
An enshittified Lemmy alternative.
HAHA
The bots that are reddit's biggest users can detect downtime in milliseconds.
Nice... We welcome all users to the fediverse. Try mbin!
