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
Ahh, steer your mod friends away from lemmy.world. They're having problems right now because of their high visibility (biggest instance). They're having issues like server overload, DDOS attacks, bot attacks. Recommend an instance that's not heavily loaded and regionally close.
People that don't understand the Fediverse architecture can have trouble with it. Explain it's not the instance that matters other than how well it performs locally. The content is all there for everyone to interact with regardless of the instance.
Also explain that communities may share the same prefix name but people commonly make the mistake of thinking they are two communities with the same name. They are not. The full name for a community includes the instance that hosts it. For example !fediverse@lemmy.ml is not the same community as !fediverse@lemmy.world even though they share the same prefix name.
I will not be taking your advice. You should have seen Reddit when they had to deal with a huge influx of Digg users at the beginning. It was just as bad.
I think they have done a really good job dealing with all of this. It’s growing pains. They need time to get things nailed down.
In the meantime, there’s benefits of creating your communities on the largest instance. That’s why I created mine here on Lemmy World.
