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.

You can always just keep your Reddit account it's not that big of a deal
I never deleted my Reddit account precisely because I go in there periodically and find some of my comments became un-deleted, so I have to go back in and scrub them again to try to keep my content off the site.
That, and when I am Googling something and find a relevant thread on Reddit with the answer, I hate being defaulted to New Reddit, where half the comments are also buried and need to be manually opened to read more. Having an account logged in with the Old Reddit toggle is the simplest way around that (though wouldn't surprise me if someone made a browser extension for that).
When I find something I need on reddit, I repost to Lemmy.
We only need a way the content on lemmy won't be destroyed when the instance ends.
Not a bad strategy, though for as bad as the native search feature is on Reddit, the native search feature on Lemmy is 10x worse. Basically, if it's not indexed by Google, there's no way to search for something specific.
I go out of my way to save content locally that interests me because I assume if I don't, it is effectively lost to time.
Well, everything but images stays on remote instances, for example, kbin.social posts are still here in lemm.ee.
Check the fediscovery project, there could be centralised indexs which could keep posts.
There is a browser add on for it. I use one called Yesterday for Reddit.
theres an extension which automatically views your pages in old reddit. i was forced out of reddit due to thier aggressive ban wave this month.
I know.
