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
I'm sure you're not alone, but IMO, most of the people on Lemmy are here because they don't like this, and don't like things like this.
I was a long time old.reddit.com user, because even the new interface was really terrible. I couldn't browse comments correctly, after two or three there would be some promoted or related post and I'd have to squint to find the "show more comments" button... It became a cesspool of turds, all cross-linked and bound together in nonsensical ways. 90% of what made Reddit great IMO, was the discussion on every post. The diversity of opinions, additional information, analysis and opinions from every walk of life.... It was glorious.
Karma whoring was prevalent but if you dug through what was posted in the comments, you could see just about any point of view on something.
By comparison, this is clickbait rainbow vomit.
I'm not necessarily saying the content of the picture is ideal, I just think there's something to be said for clean interfaces that aren't jam packed with text.
Well, this isn't jam packed with anything.
Unless you count bullshit, because it's full of that.
