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.

The greatest thing about Reddit is finding information on any old topic. For today, I wanted to dig deeper into My Dinner With Andre. RIF tried to open (he's such a trooper ๐Ÿ˜ข) and when that failed I went to the browser.

I really want nothing to do with supporting that site, but I do want to read these old discussions. Any advice?

Louis Malle is a boss, just thought Iโ€™d start with that.

But what did you even want that you could t get on IMDb or Wikipedia? There are plenty of places besides Reddit to chat about film

Are there? IMDb killed its boards like 10 years ago. I am unaware of other large scale movie discussion boards, Reddit has really taken that spot for me.

Whenever I finished a tv series it was nice closure to go through its subreddit and see all the takes, things I missed, etc. Old style media or just marter-of-factly summarizing the plot just doesn't go as far.

Exactly what usually do as soon as Iโ€™m caught up. See the theories and missed connections for TV and book series.

I hope this will eventually also kick off here. For tech news, memes and doomscrolling lemmy is already full enough for my taste, but the casual users deep in fandoms have not arrived, yet, at least not in scale.

I don't think I've ever seen a movies or TV community in my "all" scrolling. Lots of old memes tho.

In case you're looking, there's this one, and probably others on the same instance (I am not subscribed, but counted like 8 posts within the past 24 hours, so probably enough traffic to start a discussion if you want): https://lemmy.film/c/moviesandtv

Edit: or !moviesandtv@lemmy.film

[โ€“] CommunityLinkFixer@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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: !moviesandtv@lemmy.film

[โ€“] Bozicus@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks, bot, but I personally have had better luck putting the full URL in my instance's search bar. The version starting in "!" comes up when someone on my instance is already subscribed to the community, but sometimes not if I'm the first one interested. But I will edit with the other version as well.

Moviechat.org exists as the perfect substitute for the IMDb boards, it even has the old IMDb threads for all movies, series, etc. Check it out!

The boards were killed in 2017, so nowhere near 10 years ago, but it indeed feels longer.
