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.

And yet, after three months you still think about it.

I do look on Reddit sometimes, there are niche communities that don't exist in that form in the fediverse and it would be quite hard to just ignore the existence of that site, especially when wanting to look up certain information. I did successfully stop participating though.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Having used it for over 12 years, sure I think about it occasionally; usually when I remember how glad I am that I no longer use it.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (12 children)

Never use "how" and "like" in the same sentence that way. Use "What it feels like" or "How it feels".

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Good pointer, thanks!

Because it's redundant. The word "how" already contains the idea that you're speaking about the "quality" of the thing you're showing. Quality in the original sense of the word, meaning "the distinctive character of something".

The word "like" is used to express that you're comparing one thing to another in ragards to the distinctive characater of the other thing, but you've already established you're doing that with the word "how".

Because it's a comparison - what it feels like. "How it feels like" doesn't make sense.

Oh my god, I JUST realized this scene is from Twilight…

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Ohhhhhh. I always assumed it was some underworld sequel, which in retrospect wouldn’t have really made sense.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

... oh my god

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Oh my God, you're right!

I always think it's some random scene in Always Sunny.

But after drunkenly watching Twilight for laughs, I only just noticed

It turned you into a fruity vampire?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel sparkley when I’m here

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wish they’d stop holding these meetings in the middle of an open field in broad daylight.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm just here to play some regulation softball

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Just quit using Reddit today. Feelsgoodman

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I got to say I'm weak and still go there 50% of the time. But my app is still working charge free so that I can still avoid deleting it. I think shifting participation to Lemmy is the long run goal. I'm on my way.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not up to 50% (maybe my app being toast is part of that) but I do still visit more than I'd like. I've pretty much accepted at this point that it's the only place for certain niche discussion. I went cold turkey on participation, though. I can't help Reddit die if I'm still putting content on it (and I have full ad-blocking and domain-level JS blocking to keep ads away).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Same. I find some answers helpful but I will not touch the UI. I have a feeling they'll start doing some manipulative shit trying to get people to participate.

Relay for Reddit

For me, the early days of my time on Lemmy highlighted what I'd been missing from Reddit: quality discussions light on dog-piling, circle jerking, and holier-than-thou partisan clique bullshit.

These have all come to Lemmy in force with the migration, so now I'm plenty happy on either platform with a "block early, block often" strategy. It ends up just as low-stress.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yes yes and yes! I feel the same. Memes and normal conversations, without having someone to post a reference from a movie or series or even type their life time experience.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That feeling but also the AA feeling of being of the edge of falling back into it at any moment.

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

Ok but imagine breaking and buying a bottle of vodka, only to swig it and realise it's pond water.

How I party not having browsed Reddit for three months:

How i feel having reddit in the DNS blacklist...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (11 children)

But how do you find answers to obscure questions?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Try posting those questions on Lemmy so we can build up our own answers. I'm subscribed to a lot of communities that seem full of people ready to help, but no one that needs help.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I can’t even find out the best way for shop for something without getting dozens of list articles by sponsors, it’s a bummer

Vecna, Aziraphale, and The Swede

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I do feel a little bit superior since I’m using Lemmy, especially when I meet some I-don-t-give-a-shit Reddit user but the feeling I got most is happiness.

This meme needs LE happy kitty/doggo.

Stuffy and pompous, makes sense

I feel like shit not having used reddit for 3 months. I want a forum for each anime I watch that isn't MAL...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Heck yeah, fella. Feels great

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Been the until Infiniti worked. To be honest, Lemmy isn't that comfy and I don't really see what is interested in...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Didn’t Arnold say something about “Cumin all the time”, pretty much.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Going on 24hrs woot 😎
