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.

One thing I just noticed about this place is that posts get a lot of engagement, but there aren't a ton of posts. That means there are a lot of lurkers, but not enough posters.
So if you just came here from reddit, start posting!
I would. But first I have to figure out the controls
If it helps, we wrote up a guide here: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users
The guide was made for lemmy.ca, but it should be helpful for any instance
yeah the way replies to comments are displayed is a little funny, and it's not very intuitive trying to find new posts, I set it to filter by new and it'll have a 7 month old post at the top, and a 3 day old post right under it and shit
If it helps at all, I use Voyager which purposefully feels similar to the Apollo app for Reddit.
is that a website? an app? I tried searching it but I don't know what I'm looking for
I'm here using Boost because Reddit finally figured out how to block the patched version.
Could you screenshot which posts you are seeing? There should be a little button like this to add the image to the comment:
Your instance has a few alternate UIs available, and you can log in to any of them with your account if you don't like the default interface:
https://v.lemmy.dbzer0.com/
https://p.lemmy.dbzer0.com/
https://a.lemmy.dbzer0.com/
https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/
We wrote up this guide on alternate UIs for our instance, which should also apply to the ones that your instance is running: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/alternative-uis
