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.

Still shit, it felt like I was on facebook. I scrolled for 53 seconds before I gave up.

Am I supposed to just be seeing a grey box?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

No, it's dark-grey

Thank you for your sacrifice.

...and yes, I can confirm, the dumpster fire is still burning. I just checked the BotW sub and the entire front page is filled with lazy ass shitposts about elephants that contribute nothing of value to any discussion. And of course posts complaining about the lazy ass shitposts. And at least two super obvious karma farming bots reposting stuff from the "top of all time" section.

RIP reddit. It was fun while it lasted.

Same. I check with narwhal and old.reddit, and scroll for a bit but everything is just sorta tepid. It’s like the β€œfiller” subs are now all there is

The subreddit I visit the most is r/nba. With it being the off-season, it's really easy for me to use Reddit less and less every day. Those twats left a bad taste in my mouth anyways. They all protested the mods after not participating in the blackout survey and then proceeded to call the mods names for 2 days and then business back to normal.

Having nowhere to discuss the league championships during the blackout, they started their own sub r/nbatalk. A handful will never go back, but we will see how long that lasts. The majority of r/nba are shitposters anyways.

r/NBA was a mess at the best of times but at least it didn't have that idiotic Twitter requirement that r/NFL does for news posts.

That said, I hope Lemmy sports communities start becoming popular. I don't need every post to have 10,000 comments but a solid discussion would go a long way towards keeping me off Reddit for good.

Time to try to helk the NBA one here thrive. I used /r/NBA so much too. Kind of miss it but there's some activity on Lemmy too.

I usually just lurk but I will try to be more active.

Yeah, besides twitter has more bots but reddit is going rampant there as well
