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.

It's called Fediverse Addiction Syndrome
Nah, only Lemmy. I don't like the Mastodon system where you follow users instead of communities. Like why would I want to follow some random internet strangers I don't know, instead of an actual community of people with similar interests to have a meaningful discussion with? Any Twitter-like system where you follow users is just not my type of platform to use.
Much easier to search for "Technology" and have a full community instead of finding a Mastodon User equivalent of LinusTechTips, which is just one person. I'd have to search for every tech person to get all the tech stuff. I prefer just one community for everything.
Yeah, I think there's great benefit in our mental too from that standpoint. Like you have more active to interact digitally and have more diverse idea to talk rather than passive scrolling the content without any engagement or just leave short comment. At least for me, Lemmy push me more less seeing the contents and focus what people's mind in the comments section and trying to make meaningful discussion from that..
And increase your memorable moment in digital world I think? the cons of infinite scrolling imo is you can't find anything to remember for mid to long time. Which means what we do are tend to meanlngless activity, Unless we create that mark on the internet (comment like this) so your brain not just only received many types of informations (till ur brain overload with it), but creating a dynamic to think in your mind. But yeah, that's what I feel now for sure..
To be fair, you can just follow hashtags on Mastodon if you don't want to follow specific people. I still prefer Lemmy though.
