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
 

I wish we could tell whether it was the admins or subreddit moderators using these silencing tactics.

I suppose Discord, GitHub, Steam Forums and YouTube would be better places to bring up the topic.

Lemmy has 462k users and 45k MAU, we could use a bit more content and support for our developers and instance maintainers.

/r/Redditalternatives is a good place for that

I’ll try using Morse code

Attract the geeks & nerds! Good plan.

Surely it's better that Lemmy is mostly found by those curious enough to go searching? The lower the effort required to get onboard, the lower the effort of posts that follow. Currently Lemmy has a bit of a Reddit-2006 vibe and that's far better. Quiet, true, but volume doesn't equal quality and sufficient volume certainly brings the attention of bots and shills.

Lemmy is no more elite or exclusive than Reddit.

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

I'm finding it's much smaller volume but the conversations are more genuine with less low effort filler and puns in between. But YMMV...

True but more artists would be involved. I really miss BrookValley and wish she was here posting 🥺

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe contact her? Ask if we can mirror her stuff here with her credentials and so on. Win win?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I could ask her to join Blahaj.zone!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

Yes! Please do!

See you on blåhaj!

Well... For search algo, who is she and what's her art?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

She basically makes really cute comics that are really relatable!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

BrookValley we got demand!!!!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Try to only get the good ones ;-)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

I will try to avoid bringing in the stragglers from r/carnivore, r/conservative, r/canada, r/britishcolumbia.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is the moderating team for sure. The mods of r/Brasil are also the admins of my lemmy instance and you can find pinned comments promoting lemmy on the subreddit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That’s so mystifying, why would they do the bidding of Spez and hurt their own community.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Lemmy community > Reddit community

I have blocked /u/safebot, lu/saferbot and /u/safestbot to avoid that problem of being banned on certain subreddits for the arbitrary reason such as posting in the “wrong place”.
