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.

MODERATORS
If you are still active on Reddit after all the enshitification, you are enshitified and getting furious is no longer an option.
Unfortunately it’s captured a lot of information and resources.
Think about crafting - I’m going to find a lot more knitting tutorials on Reddit than I will here. Lemmy is very like early Reddit, where it’s only really active on topics like politics and technology.
What do you need to craft in your life besides building the perfect Linux distro? /s
On a side note, how do you find Reddit vs Ravelry for knitting?
And a LOT of really odd niche stuff. The biggest nerds migrated to here.
Just search on one of the AIs that scraped Reddit.
There’s also people who are and have been involved in interests for a long time that are well covered by discussion on Reddit and Facebook.
We like to give these networks shit and justifiably so but unfortunately there are no genuine alternatives for things like Marketplace, Facebook groups and subreddits in terms of complex discussion.
Current outlook issues are currently being talked about at length over on r/Outlook, and last I searched no one had even mentioned it on Lemmy.
There are definitely some legit reasons people still go there.
Who on lemmy uses outlook???
Loving FOSS and being able to use it are different things - plenty of people are required to use outlook at work.
I use Outlook for work, but it will be a cold day in hell when you catch me reading an Outlook subreddit
I understand why people on lemmy look at the outlook subreddit. Sometimes they have to use it at work, and outlook breaks in difficult to understand ways. Poor chaps
Literally anyone who works at a company they don't own with more than 20 employees.
That sounds like a work problem on the work computer for the work IT people to fix. Don't get tricked into fixing the boss's electronics for free on your own time!
Is this platform the best alternative?
I genuinely miss having discussions with Maga people. Even though the conversations are rarely productive, I still have hope that my comments will sometimes give that person (or a Maga lurker) some food for thought that could potentially get the ball rolling for them to eventually find rationality and basic decency.
However, I haven’t found any places to have those types of civil conversations on here.
Actually, Im embracing the Fedi and find it more real, aproachable and relatable.
I'm new and enjoying the rarity of morons compared to Reddit.
Don't you worry, we're here too :)
