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
If you use a VPN you will likely hit the limit, already happened to me
to my knowledge this limit existed already for a long time. it's intented to prevent scraping and automatic bots. They basically want prevent people from using bots who act as a browser instead of using their API (where they can limit them) to do stuff on reddit.
They also have a automatic system detecting when too many clients access them with similar or "odd" characteristics (weird useragents, referers, amount of requests, weird headers in the request etc.) - if they detect such a case they usually limit you and then completly block you for hours, days or months. I couldn't open reddit on my chrome app anymore because that as an example (i was developing an reddit client and they detected my useragent browser name as "too old".. so they just banned my browser while others worked fine )
Guess it's easier to scrape old Reddit. So this won't affect normal browsing.
