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
Enough. This is getting ridiculous now. Look, I get why we’re doing this, but isn’t the engagement what Reddit wants?
Listen, for the last 2-3 months, I've only visited Reddit to participate in /r/RedditAlternatives. I've moved everything here. I want to make that happen for others too. I'm happy here.
I don't even subscribe to this subreddit or any of the ones about other social media sites. I tend to downvote anything I do see about Reddit or Twitter, because I just don't need to hear about them any more.
I'm driving very little traffic Reddit's way, and the only time I do so is to hasten it's demise. The most people that we ever had on the chat planning this banner was around 10 that I saw.
This is getting tons of press. I'm quite certain we drove more people here than we drove traffic there. It's worth it IMO.
I'm sure they're hating that 1% of their users is spamming /r/place with bot visits, but I think you have to realize that there's no "fight" to be won and reddit definitely isn't facing any type of demise.
If you like Lemmy, help improve it and stop talking about reddit.
How else can people help it improve other than spreading awareness about it? While I have no doubt there's a lot of developers using Lemmy, it's not like every Lemmy user is a developer.
I'd argue that coming to other platforms begging people to go to Reddit is more impactful than your own personal browsing even if you hadn't changed your habits at all. It's just ragebait and Reddit knows it. Stop playing into their hand.
You lost me at listen
