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.

I know, I keep seeing this tonight. "They didn't even wait until midnight."

Yes, they did. It just wasn't your midnight.

It's not even reddit in some cases. Some of the apps did it on their own. Boost is still working for me, RIF is not.

5 o'clock PDT on a Friday

Just like a damn coward would.

Makes sense, cuz he is one lol

Middle of a Friday evening here in the US. Not a bad move on his part, a good chunk of the userbase is out drinking.

I think the opposite - it was a dumb move on his part because people now have the weekend to learn about and get used to lemmy. People getting off work and discovering their reddit apps are dead will probably look for alternatives.

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

This exactly. Deleted RIF (was like putting down a beloved pet) and went in on trying to access the Thunder app like a madman. Between having Lemmy on mobile as well as right here, at home.. I'm set. Almost want to thank Spez for pushing us off the roof of a burning building only to land on the ground floor of something new and potentially even better than Reddit

[–] Koopa_Khan 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do you like Thunder so far?

[–] sarcasticsunrise 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yo! In all honesty I've been using Connect a lot more as of late. It has more of the RiF vibe about it. A lot of people are hyping up the upcoming Boost for Lemmy, so I'll check that one out when it releases too!

[–] Koopa_Khan 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you! I’ll have to check that one out too!

yeah I got off around 6:30pm EST and my Apollo wouldn't load, constantly crash. It opens now, but nothing loads. It's dead and gone. Actually surprised me spez would pull it early. Fuck Spez

[–] punkwalrus 6 points 1 year ago

I think it started July 1st, GMT. So, for instance, that would be 8pm EST for me here.
