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:

Rule 1- No brigading.

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.

**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.

Look where we are discussing that ex-platform. And that's all that really matters.
There are still speciality communities there not mirrored here, but give it a few more years. My first Lemmy account is now 3+ years old. Let's see where we are in 3 more years.
also, youve gotta remember that half of the people still on reddit are super-casual users who would likely never switch to a "harder" platform. a lot of people that are using reddit right now at this moment are people that havent been on it since 2009, theyre people that are still enjoying their first experience with a forum board type community because they come from facebook, snap and instagram. i can sympathize with it.
given that the other super mainstream online platforms are absolutely infested with ads, nannying, bots and inorganic interactions, its no surprise that theres still a huge amount of people that that just dont know better or give enough of a shit about it.
its kinda like more of the same in a different format for them.
