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.

MODERATORS
So, did Reddit lose a considerable amount of user base since then or not?
Depends on what you mean by that. A small fraction left but it was sizable enough for Lemmy to become my home.
No. Too many users were used to the trash official app because that’s how many of them came to find Reddit because of the app’s release.
Can’t know what you’re missing if you never experienced it.
But honestly that’s partly why Reddit was going down the tubes when all these Facebook folk started coming to “that new app Reddit” and treating it like Fb 2.0 so it was for the best for the rest of us to leave and find alternatives.

Its so shit even Elon won't buy it.
Nowadays I barely use Reddit, but sometimes you end up forced to use an app, so I use Infinity with a custom API key
That works until reddit.old is killed. That will be next thing to go

I'm still using boost. Both for lemmy and reddit.
Wow, just tried opening boost (for reddit) and it actually loaded
You have to have admin on a subreddit i believe. I just made my own and then it works.
