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
What we really need to do is start writing down all the Lemmy instances. It's one thing to tell off reddit, it's another thing to get people off of reddit.
Mod reminder: We do have a rule against brigading. I know this is a special case - but please keep it respectful if you are planning to represent the Fediverse on r/place.
R/place is only remotely possible through the act of brigading
In my opinion, something like "Join Lemmy" is fine, but a giant penis with LEMMY next to it is not as good a look and I'd rather you not coordinate that plan here.
Understood. I'm just requesting we don't make the Fediverse look bad.
Why have a rule against brigading reddit?
I didn't make the rules. I took over as top moderator yesterday. In general, we don't want you to use this community to plan a brigade in a way that would make the Fediverse look bad. I could reword the rule to include that. It hasn't even been an issue until today. It's the first time I've seen it happening in the comments.
I just don't get why anyone would care if we brigade another website, reddit literally brigaded the fucking stock market...
As I've explained elsewhere today, I don't mind if you're using this community to plan a brigade at r/place today that says something like "Join Lemmy" but if you're planning to do something like make a large penis and put "Lemmy" next to it I'd rather you plan that somewhere else. Lemmy.world admins do not want us doing something that makes the Fediverse look bad on Reddit, much less planning it on the site.
Yeah that sounds reasonable.
Thank you for having a respectful conversation with me even though you don't agree with the rules. I will think about rewording that one to be more specific. Today has been very busy for me because of the r/place threads.
Don't overwork yourself.
