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
It is a thing on a lot of Lemmy communities, but most of the posts end up with no comments which makes them not that interesting. For certain niche communities, Lemmy just doesn't have the user base yet.
This is simply untrue. There are known bots on Reddit that have a lot of interaction in the comments. The same goes for some subs here that I know have bots posting.
This is the problem that will be solved by the bots. Everyone on Reddits seems to hate Reddit. But nobody is moving over because there is nobody moving over. If at least the posts are crossposted then I bet a lot of people will flock over to Lemmy, which in turn will fill the comment threads.
/r/RedditAlternatives is getting some traction, Lemmy is the most mentioned alternative over there
I'm here to avoid most of the people that were on Reddit.
I like having small communities and names I recognize. More content would be nice, but at what cost?
