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.

MODERATORS
There since 2009. That's about when I started mainlining the internet. Glad to watch it burn here with all of you. Cheers!
Close to ten, but I didnt leave, I got permabanned, I still dont know why
Yeah, I'm a 10 yearer. Shame, I loved Rif.
14 years for me.
7 years here. Glad I left reddit for lemmy. I will never sign up for a centralized social media platform again, I've learned my lesson.
Fuck u/spez.
11 year old reddit account deleted, plus an anon alt for gaming stuff.
I had no interest in using reddit without Apollo anyway, but the way they treated Selig and the other devs was just mind blowing. The treatment of mods after I'd already deleted everything just made me more sure I'd made the right decision.
There are 14,000 of us in this community. How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?
It's me. I'm in this picture
Joined in 2008, left in 2023.. the only constant is change
11 years. I want to view controversial content and I'm not feeling too optomistic about lemmy world either.
13 years user, and lemmy reminds me of year 1
12 years. The couple times I have gone back since joining here I can't help but notice how toxic the comments are. Didn't notice it before... Must've been a boiling frog phenomenon .
Much more joyous here. I'm hoping that vibe stays around here for a little while.
I deleted my alt with 45k comment karma that was I think 14 years, my oldest account is a version of my actual name that I don’t want someone taking that is 16 years old, that I didn’t delete, but I did nuke all my comments.
I put in something like 11 years. It's kong enough to understand that platforms can and will die in 10+ years.
My cake day was July 11 2011 so almost 12 years to the day when I left.
My account turns 11 on August 11th... lurking 2-3 years prior. As soon as the news was dropped about API changes I came over here and switched between the two. Stopped using reddit overall once my app wasn't supported. I miss my small communities and the news from my city but I can't continue to support it
I started using around 2013, a guy in my math class showed me the site, and I hadn't taken a single day off until a couple of days after the r*ddit ama. Now I will live and die on Lemmy
15 years and almost went to a stop going there (I setup a RSS feed for 3 subs, but I actually manually check them twice a week to make sure I'm not missing on important news)
The fediverse as a whole is getting more and more interesting this year. Sure, it's still lacking in amount of content, but it brings me "good enough" content to avoid feeling like I'm missing something.
9 years on my last account. About 13 or 14 years on my first one that was doxxing me
I was on Reddit for over 5 years
My account is 13, but lurked a bit before that. Never installed the official app. Used RES for desktop, and Boost for mobile.
14years
12 years of heavy activity here, I nuked my account 6 weeks or so ago.
Me.
I joined the week that the Rampart ama took place. Reddit's been shite since about 2015 so I'm happy to have found something that feels a bit like those early days.
I'm 10 years, I haven't left Reddit completely but I've definitely started using it significantly less
13 years here. Spent a few years before that just lurking.
I forget what year it happened in but I started reddit with the Digg migration.
2008 for me.
I joined 2012. It's a weird feeling leaving it after so long.
Me. Not quite 10 years, but close at 9 and some months.
Yep 10+ and I left about a week after RIF went down and deleted my account about a week later. Haven't looked back.
16+ years. No intentions of going back. The Fediverse is cool, and I’m enjoying it.
I'm one of 'em. Killing Sync (and every other awesome 3rd party client) was the straw that broke this camel's back.
11 years over here!
I was there for at least 10 years. Not going back.
My oldest account was 11.5 years old. Together the 3 of them had half a million karma. Used Relay for most of that time. Haven't used any of my accounts since the API shutdown. This made me not want even visit the site anymore.
I was there for nearly fifteen years. Been looking for an excuse to dump Reddit for a couple years now, ever since lockdown when I got in the habit of checking Reddit a dozen times a day.
