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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

WTF? I don't go there for entertainment but to stay abreast of the latest scam types and procedures so that I or my friends don't become victims. They're getting insanely sophisticated out there, so I'm just as glad as I am to read of people evading scams on there as I am sorrowful for people falling prey to them, while also learning about the right and wrong steps to take.
This isn't for fun; that's what /r/FreeGameFindings is for, which is also an excellent place in its own way. I am following an equivalent Lemmy community but I'm on both just in case the Reddit one catches any titles that the other doesn't while we wait for Lemmy counterparts to grow.
So, there, two communities that aren't cesspools. To what subreddits did you go? Here are more: /r/zerowaste, /r/eatcheapandhealthy, /r/personalfinance or even /r/povertyfinance. The "cesspool" stance is subreddit-specific and I bet it's not any one of these. You have to be strict with your subreddit curation and only go to those communities and nothing else (especially never the homepage), and then it's awesome.
I'm trying to move here not because of subreddit/community issues but beef with the direction that corporate Reddit itself is going—which is fine to ditch due to that, too, but don't imply that all subreddits suck.
