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.

Wow, you certainly sunk in more resources than I did! I didn't mean that you should run the community anywhere near that deeply; I meant just to create it so that there could be a home for Lemmy's fans of the topic, who would then carry it on. But yeah, unless you're getting something personal out of it then it's not worth the effort.
Just making the community and hoping a critical mass of users will show up just doesn't work. When it comes to niche hobbies/fandoms/etc, the venn diagram overlap of people interested in that niche and people who are active on Lemmy - which is itself a niche platform - may be as little as one or two users.
True... for now! The upcoming Reddit paywall ushered me here, so I'm hoping it will encourage more people too. Either way, I'm not just not gonna make the community...
I totally understand your point. Just saying, I did my time and I'm burned out. I like the fediverse and I like Lemmy. I trust that there are good people willing to do the work here though. It sucks that some of the niche subs I loved on reddit still only really exist there... But there was a time when they didn't exist on reddit either. People like me built those communities on reddit. People will do so here too.
