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.

From what I've seen around some subs moved and continued its existence, while other didn't become active and in some cases people just snatched names of subs on most active instances expecting probably that people just flock in. Some subs attended the protests and returned to the usual activity but it seems that majority didn't bother. Small number moved to discord or were there already extending community activity.
Fediverse seems to be attractive to people who are both consuming and providing content and who are also engaged in technology to the particular degree. Majority obviously doesn't give a single flying fuck about what happen to reddit by badluckhuffman hands and just waited till blackout will be over.
I agree. I would like Lemmy to thrive and be vibrant but not too easily accessible to the masses, to avoid another "Eternal September".
Some things are better left on Reddit.
I... think you might need to accept at least a late-August in order to bring in certain kinds of content. Some interest groups aren't here because the userbase is not yet wide enough to include them, so in order to get a broad range of non-tech content, a slice of "the masses" are going to need to come in. You absolutely can protect your own spaces from people you don't want there, though.
People don't have to be actually tech people now, they just have to be comfortable with the fact that a lot of the people on here are tech people, and a lot of the conversations assume a high level of technical expertise. I'm in that "I don't know what y'all are talking about, but I'm cool with it" crowd, and there are definitely communities where I would probably be okay even if I had a lower tech tolerance. I think we're relatively close to being able to invite non-tech people, though it will mean a bit of a culture shift in communities that are not explicitly tech-focused.
