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.

Fucking yeesh. The problem with Reddit isn't Redditors and mods, it never was. The problem is the Reddit admins and owners. Let people do what they want, it literally doesn't affect you.

Uh...
I got permabanned from commenting on r/insaneparents for "giving medical advice" when I was just sharing my own similar experience and saying that a good psychologist helped me put things in perspective. It was my only rule break and they didn't respond to my messages asking for forgiveness and to be reinstated other than a threat to fully ban me if I kept contacting them... Some mods are shit.
Oh yes we do, we want the community here to be like it was in Reddit before the meddling of that greedy, right-wing asshole-in-charge allowed maga to flourish there, and before he fully and officially enshittified the interface.
It was always naive to think Lemmy was somehow immune from the bullshit of Reddit culture. It may be immune from a centralized authority that can ruin all instances, but in terms of the culture, it is the same. Whoever thinks differently is just drinking massive amounts of copium solution.
This exactly. The reason people left reddit is because of the actions of the people running the site, not the user base or culture.
I guess the difference here is that there isn't a defined group of people running the side
- admins have some power, but users can switch instances in 2 clicks
- devs have some power, but other compatible platforms exist (https://joinmbin.org/ and https://piefed.social/ for people reading this)
- mods have some power, but modlogs are public, and people will create other communities after powertrips
Is there a new reddit influx for some reason? Or is this just in general?
maybe from bing users but haven't heard anything.
I don't think there is any influx, numbers seems very stable: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
2024-07-29 seems to have a increase in some stats, also there is a server running on oracle
I always look at monthly active users rather than active users monthly, I guess the 29-07 anomaly is probably someone starting a botfarm
in servers online too
The flaw in this logic: We had memes over on reddit. Why are you posting memes here? If you want to post memes, you should go back to reddit.
We had comments there too, maybe try an interpretive dance to spice things up?
Yeah, also Reddit used to be good. So why not make it "like there", but just 7-10 years ago
Good luck convincing them when there's already upvotes, downvotes, posts, and sub-communities!
Maybe educate them on instances and how they affect what you see and post.
Yes! Please explain how instances affect the scroll!
I thought this one was about immigrants. In Europe specifically. I’m spending too much time on politics lemmy
same, I thought this was about the riots at first.
Seriously? The communities here mirror the subreddits back there.
Ok, but there like it used to be was better than there is now, and if here could be like there used to be now it would be better than there is now and its my opinion that if here now was like there then it would be slightly better than here is now and I don't think thats too much to wish for.
Ok, but "there, like it used to be" was better than "there" is now, and if "here" could be like "there" used to be, now, it would be better than "there" is now, and its my opinion that if "here, now" was like "there, then" it would be slightly better than "here" is now, and I don't think thats too much to wish for.
FTFY. Devoid of punctuation, this reads like !ihadastroke@lemm.ee
Thank you for your service.
Welcome home! Digg and Reddit had their times.
Too late... People are reporting posts for literally using the "wrong" words or for someone expressing anger over something. It's like their wet dream is that people act like machines.

When I was wishing
I was here
Nah this post can go fuck it's self. Xenophobic as shit. Same rhetoric people use about immigrants.
Most people who do this are looking for a middle ground, somewhere between here and there. Sadly, going somewhere new and tearing it down is easier than staying somewhere and building it up.

I don't see how this is sad. If you dislike an aspect of Lemmy, there are many options available: Change instances, host your own instance, contribute to the source code, try out Mbin, piefed, sublinks, etc. If you dislike an aspect of Reddit, tough luck.
We all left reddit for one or two reasons. But reddit has a lot of issues, one or two of which would bug each of us.
If you want us to be sure we don't accidentally make Lemmy into reddit2, you need to itemize the borderline stuff so we don't accidentally be dicks due to something you think is obvious and we think is arbitrary.
I don't wanna be a dick. I'm a blunt asshole but I don't wanna be a dick. Help me out. Help others out.
So you don't like immigration?
You’re either a troll, or one of your two neurons just got hit by the glue you’re sniffing
Something about corn
