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.

Why not Lemmy instead?
A lot of people already use Discord. If you try to get people to move to Lemmy, the vast majority of them won't bother, and then you just have a version of reddit with about twelve people on it. Reddit thrives on scale and collective knowledge. If you're going to have a small community with three digits' worth of people, a chat service is the place to do it.
I'm part of a couple of private men's style discords... one of them is a great, small-but-not-too-small community, and the conversation is much better than anything that went on on /r/malefashionadvice.
For what it's worth, I'd still be happy to see @malefashionadvice or @malefashionadvice take off, but they're both dead, as is.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !malefashionadvice@lemmy.world
Seems to be a growing sub. Glad to join the movement
And Discord meshes very well with other social media. Reddit, Youtube and Lemmy communities all benefit from having Discords as well.
