I just wanted to peek at the front page. I guess they don't want people to use their shit anymore. I'm starting to believe in the dead internet theory.
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:
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.
I'm all for staying here on Lemmy: Lemmings are nicer than Redditors and the place is a lot higher S/N ratio.
But... sadly, due to inertia, Reddit is still where a lot of stuff is squarely at. There are long-established Reddit communities - often nice, well behaved communities - that don't give a toss about the Reddit drama, and are simply not interested in moving out.
I've been trying to kickstart an equivalent Reddit community here on Lemmy for almost a year. While there's a handful of members, it's basically just me infrequently posting in it. The original one on Reddit has almost 10K members, is fairly active, and clearly none of the members know anything about Lemmy - much less want to create an account and join my insignificant equivalent community. I keep it around in case Reddit enshittifies to such an extent that even those who don't care start taking notice. But at the moment, inertia is much too strong.
which community? I tried to see if I could swing by to support your budding community whatever it is, so I had a look through your posts and couldnt see a community you moderate?
!amputee@lemmy.sdf.org
Strange because the first thing I see when I open my profile in a private window is that single community I moderate.
It's nice of you to want to help but it's the kind of community you typically join only when you're unlucky enough to be concerned 🙂
haha yeah thats a pretty specific topic dude :) I'd say keep it up, someone who'd be happy to see it here will some day join lemmy and it'll mean something to them
I hear you, when I look at my profile I see that I moderate https://lemm.ee/c/badreligion (same problem, thousands back on whatever its called and a few upvotes, but rarely a comment. time and patience; we'll rule over c/ empires someday you and I
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !badreligion@lemm.ee
why can’t this bot just go ahead and fix it?
I was going to ask the same question, but I’d have nothing of real value to add. Great for those that do to have that kind of support though.
also !badreligion@lemm.ee I guess
Yeah I've noticed a lot of these vague negative comments about lemmy and I particularly don't like them.
Its good to get specific so people can help if they are able.
Seems like the Bats community here on Lemmy.world was popular due to some new posts every day.
Hello,
I just pinged you into one of the communities we created for people in a similar situation to you (singler poster for a community, trying to keep it alive). Feel free to have a look there, I hope you'll find it interesting to be able to share your experience with others
