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 know will not be seen by many, but if someone wonders why my profile is dead, they know why. Link sends to join-lemmy.org, if I get banned, oh well...

It’s way easier to get people to move by just showing screenshots or a link to a lemmy instance

Have you been on join-lemmy.org? No one is hearing about lemmy for the first time and deciding to join based off of it. The entire website is all tech speak, and literal lorem ipsum with zero screenshots that actually show off the platform, and zero screenshots of any of the apps (which is how a ton of people browse reddit)

90% of redditors who go there will be confused and never go back. It says “a link aggregator for the fediverse” in big which, 99% of people will just be confused because whats a link aggregator? And for most people, whats “the fediverse”? Join a server? Run a server? What?

Then it says “Lemmy is a selfhosted social link aggregation and discussion platform” people know what some of those words are but definitely not in that order.

Then its screenshots of some code on github? Then its more code saying lemmy is open source?

Then it says “blazing fast” with a screemshot of lorem ispum

Then a bunch if paragraphs and then a small screenshot of more lorem ipsum with teeny tiny vote buttons and more tech words

It seriously needs to be improved

[–] Ashtear@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

https://lemmyverse.net/ might be a better alternative for now, with the explanation that it all goes to the same conversation.

Yes, that's not always 100% true, but new users can learn about the nuances of defederation and other blocking after they get their feet wet.

I think they’re removing posts (and maybe banning users?) for posting Reddit alternatives lately

[–] zazaserty@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 11 months ago

I smell a ban there, spez will get very angy!! No lemmy allowed on reddit!!

[–] technologicalcaveman@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago (3 children)

You guys are strange, who feels the need to write a going away letter on a reddit account? I doubt any of you had some sort of following on there. Redditors are a truly strange breed.

[–] smokeybeef@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

It's all helping raise awareness, even if it's just in small increments.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

There's no harm in leaving a forwarding address when you leave a place.

Additionally, it's a common practice for some users of reddit and things like it to click over to the profile of someone who posted something you find interesting; why not check out what else they post or are into? Now whenever someone clicks OP's profile the first thing they'll see is this, and that's potentially of value to someone over there who hasn't yet checked things out over here. Old reddit posts and commments still get new engagement coming in all the time even years after the fact, so something like this can actually reach folks.

I'll either delete my entire account or if possible replaceme all my posts (12 years worth) with "GOTO LEMMY!"

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

OP is BASED as fuck, I went to go check out my Reddit account since I haven't used it since lemy and Reddit just felt so clunky and bloated in comparison

[–] fugepe@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Bro they are fake points, you'll survive

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

What do you mix?

[–] GentlemanLoser@ttrpg.network 1 points 11 months ago

Strong relationship status update vibes

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee -3 points 11 months ago

You guys are way too attached to Reddit.
