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.
**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 have not been entirely off reddit yet, party to message mods in communities I like if they haven't moved yet, to ask them if they will.
Business as usual there but traffic is down. Dumpster fire mods, bad taste, shitty discussions, everything you expect is still there.
Since so many decent folks have left Reddit, proportionally, there are more bigots now. I never log in anymore and when I am there it's to find something specific.
Business as usual for the subs I frequent. I wish they'd move over to Lemmy but the infertility/IVF group is a super tight knit community and likely won't move over. I've known most of the users for 5 years. If it weren't for them I'd have deleted my Reddit account but all I did was delete the official app (I had the Reddit app and RIF).
I unsubbed from all my main 'normal' subs. The only stuff in my feed now is nfsw stuff (yes, porn) and that all seems to be mostly unaffected but I've noticed that the content isn't as active.
For me, it has gone to normal. All the subreddits I frequented are open and populated with the exception of one which has been permanently privated, but not to protest.
Repost bots are way up, and covering the front page. I suspect in an attempt to make it look like business as usual.
Sports, games, tech support subs I frequent all seem to have the similar level of activity as before all this came down.
Deleted my 15 year old Reddit account yesterday. It’s the same shit over there as per usual.
There will be better things. I hope it’s here. I just worry once the corps realize a competitor what they’ll do to it. (Bots, law suits, what else?)
I only go back to check up on my Ukraine multireddit I made a year ago to keep up with the news of the ongoing conflict.
Once that conflict is over I won't have a reason to go back there anymore...
Even with ad blocking on maximum and Privacy Possum to twist the knife, the few times I had to, it felt... dirty. I'll make the extra effort of loading a cached version of the old. subdomain, but even so.
I still visit a few small, specialized subs. None of the population of the subs has had any interest in leaving reddit because there's almost no noise in the signal already.
I have noticed a lot more downvoting going on and snarkier comments than usual.
I might check it out once a week to see the dumpster fire using the Stealth app on f-droid. It's read-only, doesn't support accounts, and has a web scrape mode in the settings which still works for porn.
It is very specific as to which subs died and which have continued without much change. My feed is mostly unchanged over at reddit minus maybe the startrek subs that made a hard move.
I still haven't found "ACTIVE" lemmy equivalents to a number of subs and search results still drive me back to reddit to read really good technical threads.
Also this community and other threads like it are somewhat annoying.. So much talk about Twitter and Reddit here instead of building other interesting content.
