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.

Sure, you can close your eyes and live in a make believe world. But Reddit clearly still has a ton of activity.
And that activity will MySpace itself just as fast. It seems to me that's their goal. All that investment money hates free speech.
I can not see any decrease in activity, but I am only active in one sub, so I don't know. From all I hear... they are fine for now.
If you go to the modcoord subreddit, that is not the case everywhere. There have been several posts from mods complaining that their numbers are down, and they’re spending all their time modding to combat bot accounts. Reddit recently implemented a social credit score as well that not even mods can access. And they were vague as hell about what would make your score high/low.
This is the first I've heard about this. Got any more info about it? A quick Google search just gives me Reddit results from people talking about China's social credit score system instead.
Holy shit that took me longer than expected to find.

Reddit's u/spez liked what Musk was doing with ~~Twitter~~ 𝕏... just look at how that's going, to know where Reddit is heading.
No question, but I see a ton of activity on Reddit. A few 10'000 moving to Lemmy is not going to matter for now.
Also: just call it Twitter.
Lemmy is possibly over 300K now, with the whole fediverse over 12 million, but maybe only 4 million active. Reddit claims 1.7 billion active users, while some sources claim they only have 300M.
It's really BS counts anyways, they don't count interactions, or quality of interactions. From my time on Reddit, the quality had been going steadily down, then took a nosedive around 2021.
And even on TV they call it "X, formerly Twitter", so that's going to be it. They should register the x-formerly-twitter.com domain 😈
People are saying there's lots of bots on reddit now
There are lots of bots on Lemmy. Much more than I see in Reddit.
There actually were no bots on Reddit when it first went online (were bots a thing in 05?). But Alexis and Steve both admitted to having multiple accounts to post links for those first few weeks to make it seem like there were more users than there actually were. Remember back when it first went online all you could do was post news articles. No comments, gifs, pics, or subreddits. It wasn’t until someone created Imgur for the express purpose of being able to post pictures on Reddit that you were able to do so.
Not from me. 👋🏼
