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.

I didn't plan on naming names, but it was r/games
I hope the games communities here take off, I’m fiending for news lol
Oh God as long as we can like Harry Potter games again I'm good
I haven’t been terribly active on r/games. I’d there something wrong with Harry Potter games?
Just the usual business of the author being a tosser and people not wanting to support her.
Trueee
I'm sure it was hard to step away from being so involved with such an incredibly huge community. Good on you though.
Thanks, sadly it was a lot easier than you may think. Unless they make major changes there I can't see them lasting.
Same story here. Just waiting on my GDPR right to erasure request to be executed before I kill the account entirely.
Can you recommend an appropriate community to post questions to about this? I have all the CSV files from Reddit, just not sure how to proceed/request deletion of my posts from Reddit.
Search through posts and comments here. I used Redact before the API changes to edit and delete almost everything (left the last week of comments after editing to point to Lemmy). I have no idea if it still works. It may have been killed by the Change. There was at least one tool that used javascript, and it should still work.
I was wondering about this, I never posted a lot, mostly lurked and anything I did comment was mostly a stupid joke or question. Is this worth me going through? Fuck spez
Welcome on board - your extensive experience should be a godsend for the relevant communities in here, if you were interested in getting back in the saddle.
Thank you! If you know of any communities in Tech/STEM (I'm a phd biochemist btw) that need some help just point me in their direction.
It's outside my bailiwick but there doesn't seem a lot that's relevant apart from:
At this early stage, it's often a matter of seeing an unfilled niche and starting a community for it. And that's why I seem to start one a day. Generally on the "if you build it, they will come" principle.
Games was my favorite sub. :(
Compare the mod list today to from say January, or some time last year via the internet wayback machine. It's quite sad. Also, for obvious reasons I'm using a different username here.
Is your name a reference to Anthony "JoJ" Johnson?
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=CVA_sx0QYf8
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Oooh, nice! Thanks, I was just getting fed up with YT, it's nice to let go of another bullshit stalking in my life.
Lemmy.zip has a pretty solid gaming community that’s starting to grow
I'll have to go check them out, thanks
Any reason you didn't follow Deimos?
If that is who I think you're referring to, we didn't overlap. The founders were gone and made persona non grata (the group gets their feelings hurt when people leave) a VERY long time ago so I'm effectively a stranger to them that's associated with a group that was hostile to them even if I believe there was complete turnover. Have a look at the mod list now, the longest tenured member is probably at the 4 year mark with the bulk of the team at a year or less. It's a toxic meat grinder.
I see, that makes some sense. A shame really, I was there when they started the place and there when they became an admin. They truly knew what they were doing in terms of creating a space for real and constructive discussion. Explains why you're here and not over on Tildes though if there's literally no more connection between you.
