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.

side note, how in the hell is reddit infested with so many bots yet i cant get an alt that doesnt get instabanned for the life of me? the increasingly angry messages from the admins each time they swat a new one are funny and all, but i wouldnt mind an account to occasionally say something from. tried using VPN and it didnt seem to work. Note: am not a tech guy so probably missing something very obvious
didn't notice this, I use a couple of alts and create a new one from time to time (although I do this less and less because I mostly use lemmy instead now)
While responding to another person with a similar problem, I saw someone suggest that another person's VPN might have been using the banned IP Adress.
My girlfriend also had the same problem right before reddit pulled the recent app shenanigans. All of her appeals were immediately banned, despite the fact that she only really lurked. Out of the two of us, we figured that my account would have been the one to go, because I actually commented and posted things. Nope.
