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.

Appears that this doesn't include July numbers. I think most of the people leaving Reddit, myself included, didn't do it until our 3rd party apps actually got killed on July 1st. Will be interesting to see these numbers at the end of the month.

I'd say I slowed down my usage, as I looked for alternatives. But yeah, once Apollo stopped working, I cut out Reddit cold turkey.

[–] zzz@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Same. Apollo or bust.

Now happy wefwef.app and Tildes user, though. So not all is bad (=

I'm slowly weening myself off, but the main problem is that Reddit has a massive backlog information that's still useful to reference. Almost any question you search online comes back with a reddit thread.

Lemmy and the fediverse has a ton of potential, but we're really lacking in terms of content parity. Hell, even just communities vs subreddits.

Yeah but that will change over time, I think we've got the potential to make much better tech communities than Reddit had especially as this increasingly becomes the defacto nerd hangout

[–] nostradiel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Exactly.. My Boost for Reddit stopped working on the 5th and here I am. 😇

My third party app is still running for me so honestly I'm still using reddit for a lot of browsing. It doesn't have to be all or nothing though thats my take. I'll slowly move here if it grows and if not well, we will see.

Your kind isn't welcome here! Lol just kidding. What app still works?
