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:

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.
Welcome don't be a dick and you'll be ok
Sometimes I feel like we should change the rules in the sidebar to just that.
Lemmy.nz rules. Don't be a dick.
I put that in the !vans@lemmy.world community I made, but to be honest that was from the r/vans subreddit from SamTheKing (mod). Always loved that rule. Simple and clear.
May I suggest the fine words of two of the best musicians from San dimas . "Be excellent to each other & party on dudes".
Fuck extra careful, for me that was part of leaving Reddit way too much overzealousness when it came to moderation, plus Spez is a piece of shit
Think of Lemmy as Reddit the site that you browse, when you sign up to an instance it’s like you are on their personal website that just shows you the webpage so lemmy.world shows you the same Lemmy website that lemmy.ca shows you the only differences are you go by their rules/moderation on that instance, there is more to it but I’m just giving a basic picture of it when it comes to moderation and rules
You set up an account on lemmy.world read the sidebar, if the rules aren’t to your liking try another instance I like sh.itjust.works cuz they aren’t tight asses
I feel like the general vibe is “have fun, and don’t be a piece of shit”. I’m enjoying my refugee status so far
Have a look at the starting guide: https://lemmy.world/post/37906
This guy with actual answers over here.
Lemmy is a nice place but they won't fucking arrest you if you use some swears :smiles:
If you're on lemmy.ml they will filter them. But no one is forcing you to sign up there.
STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!
You're under arrest for doin a swear!
Do you solemnly swear that you will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
Ok, can do: Fuck.
I've got an f-word as well: removed
EDIT: all I wanted to say was colloquial British name for cigarette, but lemmy.world has this word filtered lol
Thankfully I've got a spare account on lemm.ee
Off the back of this one, worth noting that censored words vary per-instance. Some will censor the B word for example, whereas others won't
What instances use the filter other than lemmy.ml?
I vaguely remember seeing something about lemmy.world censoring words, however after looking at a few threads I may be mistaken...
(TW: language)

I'd say to search for existing posts on various instances where people have been testing the filters, and see if anything you deem excessive is blocked?
Right now don't worry too much about how things work behind the scenes. Just know that if you end up not liking how lemmy.world is run (for example, if you want piracy communities in your feed) you can go somewhere else and still access communities made on lemmy.world
download an app, for android i'll recommend Connect. I've heard great things about voyager for Apple but not sure.
Welcome!
Post some furry porn, claim China is awesome. You'll fit right in.
We've had one misdirection yes, but what about second furry China men?
Howdy.
Each instance has their own admin rukes and further each community has their own too.
You're on lemmy.world but you can still I subscribe and interact with communities created elsewhere
Instances are similar to subreddits?
I suggest you can watch this image, i think that will be easier for you to understand
Omg thank u for this comic thingy
Also, communities in your "all" feed are ones that someone has already subscribed to from lemmy.world.
I suggest we stop sharing this until someone updates it. The beehaw part hasn't been accurate in months.
No, each instance is like its own reddit website with its own subreddits (aka communities). But because of how federation works, instances are interconnected so you can also browse content from other instances on the instance you signed up with.
Those are communities. Instances are more like copies of Reddit
No. Instance is like the full Reddit website, subreddits are communities here that are hosted in those instances. Check this comment, is very illustrative.
What power does those admins posses and I hope they don't shadow ban people for being a new account
Shadowbanning doesn't exist here 😁 and karma has no effect. Most apps will not even display your total karma, by design
Admins have a lot of power, they're running the software and often paying for upfront server costs. The good thing is they only have power over their slice of the broader lemmy.
If you don't like how your admins run the instance you can just make an account on another. Account transferring isn't a thing yet but there are tools to transfer your subscriptions and blocks.
