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.

I haven’t gone back since Apollo shut down, and not planning to, but I am curious.

Relay for reddit is still a thing. But it will soon go over to a subscription model.. I've used that app for god know how many years now. This sucks so much.

But I notice that I use Lemmy far more now. So whatever really.

I've been farming it for content for a few communities here. The last month worth of content is pretty bad. Where before 8 in 10 posts were on target now maybe two in 10 posts are on target.

Moderators are kind of over the b******* in many of the subreddits.

Feels like the type of content posted on Reddit these days are one of those low-effort meme-like posts that you'd often seen on Twitter.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They updated the mobile site so it no longer hounds your to download their app!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No they didn't. It was just hounding me today when reddit was popping up as Google results.

Funny how they get desperate, no?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Business as usual for the subs I frequent. I wish they'd move over to Lemmy but the infertility/IVF group is a super tight knit community and likely won't move over. I've known most of the users for 5 years. If it weren't for them I'd have deleted my Reddit account but all I did was delete the official app (I had the Reddit app and RIF).

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Repost bots are way up, and covering the front page. I suspect in an attempt to make it look like business as usual.

I have not been entirely off reddit yet, party to message mods in communities I like if they haven't moved yet, to ask them if they will.

Business as usual there but traffic is down. Dumpster fire mods, bad taste, shitty discussions, everything you expect is still there.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

For me, it has gone to normal. All the subreddits I frequented are open and populated with the exception of one which has been permanently privated, but not to protest.

I unsubbed from all my main 'normal' subs. The only stuff in my feed now is nfsw stuff (yes, porn) and that all seems to be mostly unaffected but I've noticed that the content isn't as active.

Sports, games, tech support subs I frequent all seem to have the similar level of activity as before all this came down.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Boost for reddit is still working so I still go there. Many subs are fighting, including /r/noncredibledefense. There are a lot of subs going NSFW but reddit is forcing them to go back to being SFW. /r/NCD is genuinely NSFW at times so i'm not sure what will happen to them. Once Boost for Lemmy comes out, i'm hopping onto lemmy fulltime :)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was a Boost for user for Reddit. I think Jerboa has been a perfectly acceptable app for Lemmy while we wait for Boost.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've been using Connect and it's been good. Similar-ish to RIF and it has some nice features/good design.

Even with ad blocking on maximum and Privacy Possum to twist the knife, the few times I had to, it felt... dirty. I'll make the extra effort of loading a cached version of the old. subdomain, but even so.

I only go back to check up on my Ukraine multireddit I made a year ago to keep up with the news of the ongoing conflict.

Once that conflict is over I won't have a reason to go back there anymore...

The smaller subs I regularly visit are back to normal.

I might check it out once a week to see the dumpster fire using the Stealth app on f-droid. It's read-only, doesn't support accounts, and has a web scrape mode in the settings which still works for porn.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have noticed a lot more downvoting going on and snarkier comments than usual.

I visit some technical subreddits and many of them, particularly open source centric ones, kept up the blackout long enough that people went elsewhere. It's difficult to discern between having a slow week or the active posters moving elsewhere, though. Popular subreddits are mostly back to normal, but the more niche ones, whose diversity and quantity were the draw of reddit for me, are far from business as usual.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It is very specific as to which subs died and which have continued without much change. My feed is mostly unchanged over at reddit minus maybe the startrek subs that made a hard move.

I still haven't found "ACTIVE" lemmy equivalents to a number of subs and search results still drive me back to reddit to read really good technical threads.

Also this community and other threads like it are somewhat annoying.. So much talk about Twitter and Reddit here instead of building other interesting content.
