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.
It used to be in the top 5 - 10 until r/place ended... "Infinity" is currently entry 154 and the only Reddit client to make it into the top 200...
To dampen the mood: no Lemmy client makes the top 200 either since Sync lost its hype...

Edit: Sry for the low image quality, I rescaled my screenshot to get it below the 100kb media upload limit of my instance and it looked fine in the gallery. I should have outsourced my upload...
I got talked into using it for a little while, and it's actually nice. You get a little snippet of your friends' lives, which can be nice especially when you're scattered around in different places. But there's none of the bullshit reality of Instagram - 90% of the posts is just random shit like doing the dishes, working, or not getting out of bed even though it's past noon.
Sometimes posts make for actual conversation starters, other times you'll get a bunch of people responding with a heart eye emoji to your picture of a laptop and a cup of coffee. It's just refreshingly dumb. And there's no algorithms.
So it's basically 2005-2010 Facebook?
Kind of! Except that nothing you post will be public the day after and it's generally only seen by your friends anyway, making it less embarrassing in retrospect. But the sense of awkward intimacy is actually somewhat comparable to Facebook back when people had no idea how to use it.
