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
There seems to also be some confused people who want to move on, but who don't know where to go. For those of us already here it's obvious that kbin/Lemmy is the platform of the migration, but from the outside a lot of people are still considering centralized alternatives.
Having a join-lemmy banner in the middle of r/place with no other Reddit alternatives present should more or less settle the debate on where the move is going to, in a way that speaks directly to the relevant audience (those still on Reddit).
That's what I'm saying! There's literally NO BETTER ADVERTISEMENT for Lemmy than the literal middle of r/place (we held that position for days so it's not just a blip on the timelapses, that will be posted later, either). The middle is the first thing most people will zoom at when looking at the end result.
There's too many doomers in this thread, them saying "move on we lost" is the same as saying "climate is already fucked why bother". I am NOT pro-Reddit but WHERE ELSE should we advertise a Reddit alternative?
The only reason I found out about Lemmy was through Reddit.
