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.

MODERATORS
 

An era of the internet is ending, and we’re watching it happen practically in real time. Twitter has been on a steep and seemingly inexorable decline for, well, years, but especially since Elon Musk bought the company last fall and made a mess of the place. Reddit has spent the last couple of months self-immolating in similar ways, alienating its developers and users and hoping it can survive by sticking its head in the sand until the battle’s over. (I thought for a while that Reddit would eventually be the last good place left, but… nope.) TikTok remains ascendent — and looks ever more likely to be banned in some meaningful way. Instagram has turned into an entertainment platform; nobody’s on Facebook anymore....

Forums, the fediverse, your own website, and perhaps most controversially of all, outside.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Forums as a response to leaving Reddit feels odd to me despite subreddits basically being forums. I guess without a way to aggregate separate forums into one app it loses the appeal that Reddit had for me.

Here's hoping lemmy takes off.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, that's the killer. Reddit was great because I could join a hundred communities and see all of them in one place. Sounds like we need a common forum aggregator of some sort.

Or Lemmy. Liking it so far.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Same. Only thing I'm missing so far is some of my favorite communities like r/onepunchman

I used to rely on it for notification of English translations of new chapters

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Same, as well as several other anime communities. There is a OPM community here but so far it’s just a bot reposting Reddit posts with no other engagement.

More people need to bring up migrating to lemmy on those subreddits.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you unwilling to just look at that sub on a browser every now and then?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

A lot of people here deleted their Reddit accounts when they left.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And the upvoting allowed good stuff from any topic to percolate up. I don’t know too much but the barriers between instances may mean some good content from lesser sources may not be seen or the supporters remain fragmented.

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

But the latter was also true of Reddit. Good information from smaller subreddits still remained unseen, because of upvoting.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Binary voting isn't a perfect system, but so far it's proven to work well enough.

If a better mechanism proves itself in the future I imagine Lemmy will adapt to it over time.

It has been a lot of indoors time here in Ontario thanks to wildfire smog!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well could y'all keep it in ontario because we've been getting your smog down in Minnesota now too.

Joking of course. Stay safe up there.

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

Should've installed giant fans along the border!

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

Outside? You jest 😏

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

And down in Connecticut, too. I want to go hiking but the air's not been conducive to it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Outside was the first place to be enshittified. I crave third-place, but it hasn't really existed for decades.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just finished the Behind the Bastards podcast on Vagrancy. the destruction of the third place and destroying the ability to be anywhere for free without being hassled by the law has changed a part of America that was great. The freedom to exist is becoming elusive. The freedom to find common space with like minded people, that's becoming hard to find too. I hope this place helps.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Even in third places like public parks or libraries, in America it’s mostly taboo to talk to strangers so it makes meeting people really difficult. Behind the Bastards is fantastic

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'll start using outside once there is a way to block the sun.

...What do you mean sunblock already exists?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

The outside? But it burns... 😫

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Is there an outside uh what do you call it here? Sublemmy? Lemmlette? Lemming?

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

Outside?

How dare you!

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

Well, It's the verge.
