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:

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.

Finally tried the official Reddit app. It's as bad as they say.
Downloaded today to see after Boost went down. Immediately uninstalled as it made my phone burning hot. Came to Lemmy very quickly.
I had the Reddit app installed alongside boost. I deleted the official app last month and said that when boost dies, there goes my 10 year association with reddit.
Here I am. I really hope Lemmy becomes something special because this far, it is filling that doom scrolling void that reddit filled for me
Boost was the sole way of using reddit. Now if I REALLY need to find something on reddit, I'll do that on old reddit, on my PC. Will save a lot of time by not being on that shit app.
bots reposting bots replying to bots up voting bots
and an ad
You know, I didn't start using reddit apps for awhile, and I was a late reddit comer in general. So the official app was my first and only experience, I used it for years.
Yes it is just like that.
Not to mention they stupidly made it so Chat auto-notifies you by default now, so if you forgot you joined any of those you'll get your phone lighting up out of nowhere like a reply all if someone says literally anything in one of those.
It really is, just dropped reddit for this. Not about to go back to using the official app.
Their app is truly awful, and on mobile, they always try to shunt you off your browser and onto it.
You can use Revanced Manager to patch the officel Reddit app to remove all ads and trackers from it. Such a scummy platform
I'm so glad I've never even touched it to begin with, and I'm not inclined too after the migration. I live here now.
High quality advertisers...
I haven’t been on that app for years but ouch, does it look bad
That's why I used third-party app all the time, never used their official Reddit app from day one to the day I came to Lemmy
For a second I thought there was a promoted post on Lemmy and I got equal parts angry and confused.
The ad takes up more than half the screen lmfao
Looks disgusting 🤢
Agreed. I hate teenagers.
He gets us.
It was this bad a few months ago when I used it as well. I saw almost nothing but gambling ads.
Tbh I only downloaded the official app because I didn't know there were 3rd party apps at all I only learned about the 3rd party apps when the protests started
My hearts hurt and my eye is broken.
