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.

MODERATORS
They've been doing this on Android for years already. I used sync. If I googled something and clicked on reddit, it would initially open in browser, then I'd get a pop up saying I needed to open the official app to continue reading on mobile.
This happened to me for years
This is a new low, even in light of everything they've done recently
Even now anytime you access Reddit mobile website and see an NSFW post, it would prompt you to install the app without an option to cancel. Literally the only way to continue without switching to the app was by using old.reddit.com
That app is POISON. On my poor low storage phone it quickly ballooned up to 1.3 gigabytes as it cached things. That itself would have outright driven me away from Reddit.
Lmao this is hilarious
I have been using the iOS browser extension called ‘sink it’.. blocks promoted posts, kills the popup to use the app
I deleted my app a few days ago and now I exclusively use reddit for r/Godot because sadly there just isn't an established community for godot elsewhere.
R/godot is also one of my missing communities en Lemmy.
I hope that, with time, we can move people over here.
I assume as Reddit becomes more and more hostile and Lemmy more and more mature things will be easier.
I also am hoping for more Gamedev groups. r/gamedev is shut down so my only hope is a community growing fast on here. the discords are... ok but not what I'm looking for. And I'm off reddit now so nothing on there will work for me.
That is not a good reason to keep using reddit. A boycott is a boycott. If a community that you want is not available outside of reddit, why not start it here?

Of course they do, in absence of the 3rd party apps that is how I would still be able to browse without ads on my phone. (If I didn‘t already switch fully to kbin and Lemmy)
I also expect one of these annoying "Disable your adblocker" pop ups for Desktop users.
This post is from early May, so probably long before they decided to kill the API (and the actual experiment could have started long before that post).
Well, I guess that solves the problem of me browsing reddit on the toilet then. Just making it easier to stop using it.
The toilet?
It's where most people go to poop.
I thought that was Reddit.
