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.

Huh? I just used reddits own search bar. Worked just fine for me.
Edit: Man some of you are bitter at the fact that not everyone had issues using Reddits own search. Lmao
oh man this is hilarious.
you're kidding right? did they fix it right before everyone left in disgust and no one even noticed?
Not kidding. Never had issues with it in the many years I used it. =)
every single time I've tried reddit's search it delivered results that were somehow worse than not searching at all.
You would be a shining needle in a field of hay.
I guess. I had no idea so many people hated Reddits searchbar.
When you know a post exists, and you type its exact title into reddits search, and it gives you inrelated bullshit so you need to go to google who hand you the exact post you knew existed, it annoys you.
When you do that every time you try reddits search function, you start to really hate it.
Ah, sorry that was happening to you.
I've found that Reddit's search generally works when searching within a specific subreddit, but otherwise it's mostly useless.
But isn't that how most people use google to search Reddit anyways? They specify the sub in their searches.
But anyways, I was always able to find what I was looking for even when doing a website-wide general search or when picking the sub. shrug
Idk I always found the result sorting to be, I mean, obscenely bad. I would find better more accurate results searching in Google "r/whateversub" followed by whatever it was I was trying to find.
You could pick what sub you wanted to find your info directly from Reddits own search bar as well though. Or choose to search the entire website.
