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.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Reddit is so very confused.. (lemmy.world)

So yesterday I received a 7-day ban for 'encouraging violence', for saying that Luigi Mangione did not deserve to go to jail. It was obviously bullshit, somebody got a little hair-trigger on the new directive from ~~Der Fuhrer~~ spez or something, so I appealed. That appeal was reviewed and the temp ban lifted and the 'offending' comment restored, but 11 hours prior to that I got another message that I had been perma-banned for violating Reddit's rules with my 'other account(s)'. Well that's also bullshit because I've had exactly one (1) account in the 14 years I've been on reddit, so I appealed that too, and thus we get to the cherry on top: I am no longer banned, I can post and such again, but they sent me the above message saying that my appeal had been denied and that the perma-ban was staying in place. But rather than linger in reddit limbo, I think I'm gonna switch permanently to lemmy. 14 years worth of curating subs will suck to redo, but oh well, life is change.

Please feel free to create the communities you find are missing still! Things are smaller and slower here, but that means that even in the popular threads, people will actually see and read your comments rather than them disappearing in an ocean of bots or (DELETED).

If I come across something I can't find here I will certainly do that.

Considering the time you were at reddit (not too different from mine), I think you'll find Lemmy like reddit was in your earlier times there.

What I mean by that is generally more thoughtful and reasonable discussion (generally), smaller communities, more generalized (but specific stuff is accepted, so "all ttrpg is good here" vs "thats pathfinder, this is for 5e only!", as an example.

Welcome and I hope you enjoy it here!

Also, if you come across a server you think fits better as a home base - make an account, see if it fits. You dont have to stay in one spot just because its where you made your first.

Glad to hear it, I look forward to poking around.

Same man, I've been on Reddit pretty much since 2005.

It seems like such a waste of 20 years of doom scrolling, imagine if I'd put that time into learning a trade, or another language...

You’re doom scrolling right now on lemmy.

If Reddit didn’t turn to shit I don’t see how your doom scrolling wasn’t already a waste of time.

But wasting time is the point right? You can’t spent every single minute of your day being productive.

It’s like people complaining that playing video games and watching moves is a huge waste of time. Like, durrrr, that’s the point.

That's not how brains work, they need time to unwind, so you would've just found some other method to do that.

They’re finniky bastards.

Curating subs? I see it as more of "creating my own bubble". Lemmy is a good way to kinda expose myself to other stuff for a change and not just the reddit hive mind.

I mean, how many times have you opened a post and knew what the top 3 comments would be??

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Weeeelllll... technically there are a couple of Lemmy cliches, but you make a good point. Canned bot responses to farm karma are certainly awful, with the only human exception being "look up en passant" because that was intentional predicability.

I've seen one person respond to something here with simply "this is the way," and the flashbacks were real

It's been almost two years since my exodus. I've popped in Reddit a few times for specific information, but I noticed I just feel like crap when I do. It's just so toxic. I didn't notice it until I spent time in Lemmy.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

I got permabanned during the women's March for cheering on the March posters and such. I started and admined the /keitruck sub reddit. I also had some other subreddits that weren't as big. Keitruck is pretty small though. All that work for nothing. So I didn't fight the ban, just moved here. Good move! Now I only go to reddit from accidentally clicking on web searches. Who knows WTF is going on.

It seems like ever since the DOGE kids were posted on Reddit and Elon got mad the ban hammer has been out en force.

Every long term reddit bans and/or alienates and comes to lemmy, benefits us all. Welcome!

The adjustment can be a little awkward at first but there's plenty to do on Lemmy if you take some time to learn how things work and how to get the most out of it.

If you're the type of person that enjoys posting and guiding topics there's no shortage of people hungry for content on Lemmy. There are lots of active communities but even more that are still trying to get off the ground or need someone interested to adopt them.

Whatever your interests, https://lemmyverse.net/ is a great way to find communities for the topics you care about if you aren't finding them on lemmy.world.

I hope your time here is more enjoyable than where you're coming from.
