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.

MODERATORS
Okay, that's slightly disappointing but nothing surprising. I appreciate the well thought out response, thank you.
Kind of seems like the scale will always be tipped on reddits side but hopefully that doesn't discourage the people who actually do come here. As long as Lemmy is active, I don't plan on using anything else. My reddit account was over a decade old and I'm hoping my Lemmy account will last even longer. Should I move instances?
Considering that Reddit was the safe haven for people trying to escape "mainstream" social media who didn't want anything to do with 4chan, it isn't surprising that most of the fanbase is loyal to them. It is a little disheartening, indeed, but I guess it'll take a couple more of these big fuck-ups for something to change noticeably.
I am, however, very fine with the amount of engagement we have here despite the lower user base. Might actually be better exactly because of that.
I mean, the instance isn't really that important, is it. You can still interact with everything on here regardless of the instance your account is registered to.
But if you main decides to defederate from a few fav instances you're out of luck.
That's true. But it's also super easy to create a new account on a different instance should that happen. Or you can browse those instances in the browser without an account.
