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
I'm at the point where I only use Reddit on desktop while I'm stuck at work. And that's only after I've got my fill of Lemmy. I only use old Reddit and have RES installed. If old Reddit goes or RES gets blocked or really if the platform makes any other bad decisions going forward, which their track record suggests they will, I think I'll finally be done.
I'm also at the point where I just create a new account every day. It takes them a day or two to shadowban it, but on Reddit if you don't leave a comment within an hour or two of something being posted, your comment will never be interacted with anyway, so there's really no value in keeping an account beyond a day anyway, unless you care about your subs, which I don't anymore.
The platform went to absolute shit.
Why are you trying to contribute to Reddit by posting / voting? While I still use Reddit (after Lemmy) I make a point to never vote or comment or contribute in any way whatsoever. They rely on contributors to power their network, so don't contribute.
To fight disinformation as much as I can. I see it, I downvote it. I see something patently false, I correct it if I'm educated enough on the subject.
I get upvotes, which means people see an agree. Maybe some of them are people who are seeing the info for the first time and I'm helping guide their views in the right direction.
I'm contributing less and less though. I mostly use Reddit for news that doesn't get posted here. Or to read top comments that outline what the news really means and provide deeper context. Because Reddit has more users than Lemmy, you see more of those informative comments. Hopefully Lemmy truly replaces it someday, but we're not all the way there yet. I'm definitely seeing more Lemmy activity than when I joined 1.5 years ago though.
