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
You know the meme: "I feel sorry for you"; "I don't think about you at all."?
First off, Fuck Spez. I fully support anyone who wants to pop in there and make sure that "Fuck Spez" isn't getting removed, but if it looks like Lemmy is just a refugee camp for angry ex Redditors to complain about Spez (who should be fucked), that's not inviting to others who aren't as riled up as the rest of us. It needs to look like a separate, fully functioning community.
Keep the shadow ops in the shadows.
Potential former redditor here: You are correct in assuming Lemmy is a "Refugee Camp" of sorts- it's become abundantly clear with the reprehensible actions of Reddit the company that users are no longer of importance to them. I don't care about API access, I've never used a 3rd party client, but pricing the existing options out of existence with little warning is appalling. That's just the tip of the iceberg, the actions taken against subreddit moderators is horrendous, and underlines their attitude toward the user base. Comply, or be cancelled. All of this to make reddit "profitable". Get yo Ferengi lookin' ass out of here, u/Spez! As for me, I believe I can help grow my personal interest here, mostly by cross posting at first. Perhaps once there is enough people here, I can let Reddit go and wither in cyberspace... sounds like a plan, right?
