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.
No joke there are chatgpt bots going around, even in smaller subreddits.
I have been enjoying Lemmy a lot that I did not even care for Reddit, seems that they finally killed Boost, and I was not even aware LMAO.
The Finnish language r/Suomi is shut down so the Finn's have moved to the English language r/Finland, making it all confused with languages now.
It had been steadily getting worse over the past month and since July 1st it’s fallen off a cliff really. It actually seems noticeably quieter imo.
I only used Reddit for reading, haven't had an account in a long time. I checked r/all the past few days and it's had basically the same top stories every day. After seeing all the same things again today, I decided I'm not going back, just a waste of time. Any interesting happenings in the world are making it to my All/Top Active Lemmy RSS feed. Let's keep it up!
Let's be honest most of us were there for the plethora of niche pornography.
That's not true. Quite a few of us are fine with basic, mainstream smut
Most subreddits are no longer private, but a lot of them are still protesting in various ways. If I were an advertiser viewing the chaos on Reddit, I'd hold off on buying ads there.
I don't see much protest anymore on the subreddits I'm subscribed to. Just feels like it is overall more quiet than before.
I only visit from time to time to check if there are interesting links shared. If so I share this link here on Lemmy.
The mods of a gaming sub I frequent marked it as NSFW to prevent Reddit from earning ad revenue. There's some discontent from a vocal minority of users about the change.
One of my most frequentes subs (/r/soccer) is seemingly working as normal. No changes or differences, before and after the protest. No real replacement for it on Lemmy yet
I'll be honest I revanced the RIF app so i can still use it like I always have for the time being until it breaks. I don't notice much difference, but since using Lemmy it's really made me notice how crap Reddit had actually become. I genuinely check Lemmy more and post more here. It's more engaging and so far the people are nice. I'm still new here tho and still finding my feet on navigation etc but it's making a lot more sense now!
I probably will still check Reddit on RIF whilst it still works as I do like the niche subs and they are still active for me. I did initially try the official Reddit app and jesus what a mess that is, I will not use it once RIF permanently breaks. So I'm still there but more lurking than posting.
I'd signed up for an account here once the ridiculousness started, but didn't start frequenting until just now (first post) because Boost stopped working completely. Ah well, definitely not installing the official app. I was over there for 12 years or so too. I have a feeling lurkers won't really care and keep using the site just like there are people who still use Facebook and what-not, but it certainly won't ever be cool again.
It’s had a noticeable drop in quality since the protests. Still has loads more content than Lemmy, but Quantity ≠ Quality. I still check it for news/worldsnews/politics, but there’s really nothing important even there that isn’t on Lemmy as well.
Seems to be nearly business as usual. There are still fuck spez posts and some are still blackout or marked nsfw. Boost was still working fine until today so I kept using it
Since so many decent folks have left Reddit, proportionally, there are more bigots now. I never log in anymore and when I am there it's to find something specific.
I was wondering if what reddit did was on purpose to lower their pre-IPO valuation so insiders could get a better price before it goes public. After the IPO they entice people back with reasonable API policy and then they can demonstrate huge user growth to boost stock price... Nobody working with investors on preparing for an IPO is going to do something this stupid without major pushback from the investor advisors.
Watch this space...
Lots of bot posts, and under them, lots of lively conversations between the bots.
There ain’t really shit there it feels like. Scrolling through all feels bad and the Reddit app just spams adds and sucks ass. I’m here now, against my wishes 🤷♀️ but I want to see good news and shit. Not garbage
Deleted my 15 year old Reddit account yesterday. It’s the same shit over there as per usual.
There will be better things. I hope it’s here. I just worry once the corps realize a competitor what they’ll do to it. (Bots, law suits, what else?)
I will go on to check the Ukraine subs as I have friends in Ukraine. I also check out some local ones, and also /PICS as it's now NSFW so Reddit can't get any money from that. In the Ukraine and Local ones, I do take a lot of posts and put them here to help out the communities here grow.
Many subs seem to have lost most of their activity.
