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.

Will Google searches eventually link to lemmy? I don't really know how this site works, but I would assume that could grow the site more than anything else would.
i really doubt it. there is not much impact on reddit and the protest showed that, before 3p apps shut down.
That's an interesting perspective, but I'm not really asking about Reddit. I'm wondering about how Lemmy can grow on its own

Isn't it a bit egotistical to watch how Google rates your Reddit comments? Maybe you deserve to get them deleted if you treat them as a means of domination rather than information.
I deleted them. And no, it’s an observation after trying to figure out why I was getting DMs from 3 year old and older posts. That’s why I know they were ranking and getting traffic.
Did the same, but it feels wrong. Months/Years later someone build a transition for bring all your reddit stuff to Lemmy. But it's already lost.
The only thing reddit has done is lost the will of its users to ever pay for their flair features to support them. They've utterly tanked something that is a cornerstone of Twitch because of their complete disrespect to users.

The reason people keep claiming posts are being "restored" by Reddit or "missed" by these tools is that those posts were deleted while many subs were private. Which means the posts/comments were hidden. When the subs came back under restricted/public, then hidden posts/comments became visible again.
On top of that, it's been alleged that Reddit's weird caching limits the display of your posts/comments to a surprisingly low number (I've seen 1000 and 5000). Meaning stuff older than that is simply not locatable other than through third-party search tools. I haven't seen concrete proof of this, though, and I definitely saw 12yo comments being found and deleted when I ran tools on my account. It IS, however, clear that Reddit does not respect data privacy laws that require they delete all posts on a user's request. They demand the user do it themselves while simultaneously not providing tools to do so.
I read the admin post about that and I tend to believe them on that issue. I’ve never seen a post I deleted get restored. Just rando posts come back from years ago as subreddits return.
Now I wonder how long until search engines penalize Reddit for this stuff. They still have me ranked #1 to several posts that shows it’s been removed.
There has to be a manual quality penalty coming.

I love the scorched earth approach. Steve Hufflepuff is such a smarmy little fuck.

It definitely seems quieter and the posts that are there not the same quality - that's just from a look through r/all. Not sure if that is accurate or not, but just the feeling I got.
Thank God I didn't give in to herd instinct and delete my Reddit account. I did that four times in a row, and I don't play those games anymore. I didn't sign up for a subject that is foreign to me, especially since in my opinion the alternative apps work worse than the official one, and the lack of video downloads doesn't bother me because I don't watch porn. My Reddit stays the way it was. The FreeBSD and Slackware communities and a couple or three others have sane members.
Why would FreeBSD and Slackware communities be on a proprietary platform, when an open source platform is available?
Reddit was easy and having run Slackware, anywhere you can save time so you can make more tweaks is just the name of the game.
I remember the "we are adults, not revolutionaries" entry in r/freebsd. After that, the subreddit administration decided to leave things as they were.
I don't understand the point raised by R. Stallman about using only free software. Because for most of us the PC is a working tool, but in no way a religious toy.
