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.

For everyone who told us that they’d never taken a single art class and they could mod this place better with their eyes closed… Well, consider this a golden opportunity! It’s going to be tricky doing it with your eyes closed ever since Reddit’s painfully botched rollout of “disability friendly” mod tools in their disasterpiece of a mobile app has caused nothing but crashes and bugs, but you seemed so confident in the many (many, many, many) times you’ve expressed this opinion that we can only assume you know something about modding that we don’t!

Is such a fun line.

Oh my god that was annoying! But yes. Now, I am okay.

Firefox wasn't letting me comment, reply to comments, or edit my comments. I even dragged my home instance's moderator into helping me debug which I feel terrible about. (Especially because I originally described it as a federation error, only later realizing that the glitch was happening on reddthat as well as federated instances.)

After various debugging attempts, he told me to deactivate my extensions... which I hadn't tried for some reason... and it worked instantly. My Bionic Reader Firefox extension in particular turned out being the source of the problem. And now I feel like I've wasted my mod's time trying to debug something that he had no control over, but other than that? I'm okay.

Thanks for asking.

I mean.. Idk why.. but I love it.. imagining you pulling your hair out trying to troubleshoot this.. haha..

Been there done that..

Cheers mate!

Damn, that's nice - what a cool mod

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's fine. Bound to happen sooner or later with other users anyway. Next time when the mod debug a similar issue, they'll remember to ask the user to deactivate extensions first.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Give him some money

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He's problem solving, so he looks fine.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Exactly this, yeah. Doing a little debugging.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Your user name would have been a fun notification to receive while troubleshooting ahaaha

I don't think there's a lot of blind people going to r/AccidentalRenaissance anyway.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually, we did have a small contingent of visually impaired people who enjoyed the subreddit, even if they had to zoom way in to see the details. Most people who are legally blind still have some vision and they still love pleasing arrangements of pixels.

That's why we're trying to make the Lemmy and kbin instances more accessible by adding image transcriptions where possible, a paragraph description explaining the details in the photo so mostly-blind people can enjoy them more.

Also, like, half the mod team is some flavor of disabled, and us cripples gotta stick together.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That contingent included me so I am happy to see you here :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I'm still learning transcription so feedback for what works and what doesn't will be helpful!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is a masterpiece! Now I miss r/murdered_by_words!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Oh please please please. And the companion suicide and kamikaze subs too. All absolute gems.
