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.

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.

A lot of people here still using Reddit. Such a shame.
The world would be a better place if people were willing to put their money where their mouth is. You're no better than the people that hate Elon Musk but refuse to leave X.
Jesus, chill out dude. It's okay to use Reddit for some things, because, like it or not, it's the only viable option for a lot of things
Sysadmin, certain IT related subs, and my local city sub, are all still 'useful' subs in some way or another just due to sheer population still over there, at least until we have a larger mass adoption over here.
Based on your shared view, why would you even sub to this LW community? Just cut the cord fully if that's your preference.
I really miss having a local sub but both of the portland subs turned into absolute cess pools the past year, there's an ask one too that's also filled with "i need to be right about this" type assholes.
Yeah I gave up that shit. I'll only go there if a search result takes me there for information I was looking for.
Sad to say, there is still a lot of niche info on there. Aside from finding stuff via Google, I don't bother anymore.
That's not true at all. There's a distinct difference in effort between a person who left but opened the door to observe the dumpster fire and a person who goes back every day for content.
It's the people like OP who are killing reddit. Insulting them for going back to look at the damage is backwards.
op made me wanna check my Reddit notifications if i have any
As I stated in several other replies, I still use it because of a couple specific hardware and software help subs that haven't migrated anywhere. As long as the owners keep the subreddits as their only place for help for their product, then I'll have to keep using Reddit. That's also why I haven't deleted my account. I have help topics that people can find when searching for those devices or app. I'd hate to take those resources away just because Spez is a douche.
I'm on Bluesky, but literally nobody I follow on Twitter is. I'm all for Bluesky, but it needs more people to become successful. I enjoy it a lot, but it just needs mainstream attention first.
According to WP, Bluesky is in "invite-only beta".
I still use reddit cause some niche communities are more acrive there, but I eill say the front page has gone fron bad, to worse, to wtf
