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:
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.
Just had errors for the last minute, is it happening to other people too?
Normal reddit works fine.
Update: Normal reddit has issues loading the front page, but subreddits open normally
Imagine doing a site redesign so badly that you have to keep the old design up and running for years.
It only went 'badly' if you believe the users are the people who get to decide.
The reddit redesign wasn't done to meet the needs of the users - it was done to meet the needs of reddit the corporate entity. And from that perspective it went great.
More uniform look, better marketability, better ad integration and monetisation, all those wonderful things.
They knew the 'old guard' would hate it, and they simply didn't care. They'd have killed it altogether but they needed those users to stick around, because it was the old crowd who provided content and free moderation, and all that great stuff.. So they let old.reddit stay, simply to keep people mollified and prevent a riot.
As soon as reddit thinks they don't need those people any longer, it will be gone, just like the APIs.
Remember people did a protest to use 3rd party apps instead of Reddit actually app. That is how bad Reddit is!
Seems OK. Other than the fact that it is still reddit.
People still not realising that Reddit is slowly tumbling down into a shithole.
Not caring, more like.
Yes. I keep this post alive as it was interesting to think what would happen if they really killed it. Would a lot of disgruntled old.reddit users come here? That could be interesting
One day they will. You can still block ads on old.reddit.com iirc, hence the incentive to do so. Right now (it seems) they would lose too many people if they did that, and they still need those content creators, for the commenters and lurkers to have something to engage with. But the moment that they can get AI to replace humans... I expect that old method of access to be shut down the very same day.
Not that I care - I've long since enjoyed going there.:-( Except it will create a flood of disaffected people to come here - yay more content but also... FAR more need for moderation, bc they will bring their toxic attitudes, encouraged by Reddit standard practices, with them.
Same here :(
Update: Deleted cookies. Now I can't log in anymore.
It's back on my side
Interesting
Working fine here.
