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.

I'm trying not to read too much into the fact that Reddit is down right now, but I've noticed pages have been increasingly slow to load lately, and I get a lot of messages about server errors even just voting on comments. It seems like they're barely even keeping the lights on. Anyone else notice the same thing?

They are purposefully slowing down old.reddit.com. Expect a lot of refugees when its inevitable shutdown happens.

Anyway, infrastructure mismanagement is typical for late-stage enshittification. Value of the company goes down, and execs who have sold their shares high are quietly stealing equipment from the datacenter to get some value out of it. (Not literally, they just fire any techs who suggest overdue upgrades and give themselves a bonus for making such a difficult decision.)

this keeps happening, and then eventually Reddit will be down for good

One can only hope.

Remember the digg effect? Remember the reddit effect? Is the lemmy effect next? 😂

It’s more like twitter -> X.

Making it shit, slow, and littered with adds. So it can be ✨profitable✨

Been having the same experience, when i land on reddit, on mobile, the page never loads, just the header with the reddit logo. After a few reloads, the page loads.

I think they are intentionally messing with the web version, making it a pain in the ass to use. They want people on the app.

Can’t make the app any good so they have to make the website suck more.

They were never trying lol

Images in particular have been very slow for me lately.
