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
EDIT: see reply below. Also don’t know how to do strikethrough but pretend the paraphrased bit is struck out.
I absolutely hate that people say this. Ffs, not every single platform needs to be about the content unless you’re looking to monetize the platform. I personally got off Reddit because of how shit 99% of the community was on there and how overarching the hivemind was - and I also personally went on the Fediverse because of the community that’s emerging over here, not the content itself. If you want content vomit, then just go onto Instagram or back to Reddit.
I know you mean well, but this kind of thing just grinds my gears lol.
I didn't say I want content vomit. I said focusing on content is essential. A community is nothing without content. We need questions being asked and answered in our tech communities. We need artists and musicians posting in theirs. We need conversation that is thought provoking which allows our communities to form and flourish.
If you see the word content and just jump to dumb memes than I think that's more of an issue with your way of thinking than an issue with anything I have suggested.
Touche - and I honestly was thinking you meant just cramming content onto the Fediverse, like I have seen a good whack of people suggest on here. I thought my paraphrasing was clarifying the statement, when I reality I was getting it mixed up, so my apologies on that.
I guess the way you put “focus on content” and explained it is, to me at least, the way I would see cultivating a community; I assume that the content natural to that community would come about regardless of it being taken off Reddit and slapped on here, if that makes sense.
It just irks me that it seems like a good chunk of people want the Fediverse to become Reddit 2.0 versus its own little thing, like with r/196 being transplanted to here being and the dumb Reddit-tier poop inside joke being examples.
I completely agree, friendo.
This should not become reddit 2.0. let them keep their platform for poop jokes. I'm 100% content with the users we have and have had a wonderful time engaging with them. We don't need to advertise on r/place is the point I tried to make. We don't need the people who are still using reddit and think it's funny writing FUCK on r/place.
Sorry if I didn't get that across originally.
