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.

How to fund the instance is up to the instance owner. The one I'm on has a Patreon. Not sure how the bigger ones are managing.

Why did you pick that instance, out of curiosity?

E: Posted the same comment three times, looks like. Still getting used to this.

It's cool. I do the same on Reddit.

I'm Finnish, so it felt like home.

Patreon seems like a good option.

Is there a way to aggregate instances?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not sure what you mean?

Aggregate, as in collect those instances' feeds and show them combined?
That's what Lemmy does with the instances it federates with.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No aggregate all feeds from all instances?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That would be too much for your feed, I think. And a certain amount of redundancy from communities with overlapping content.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Actually thats your All feed. You have a local feed for your local Instances communities and an All feed for All instances communities.

They just show the same thing for me. Also is anyone else having really bad performance using lemmy.world? Are they going to be able to keep up with this influx of users?

Are you sure you're looking at the right page? My All feed always shows posts from other instances and never matches my local feed.

So far so good, since lemmy is decentralized though users can spread out across many servers to help handle the load while maintaining access to the same aggregated content. You could even run your own personal lemmy instance at home to connect to the lemmy-verse. That way you would be responsible for hosting your own account instead, all while still being able to connect, post, and vote in other instances communities.
