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
Other question: how active were you? I used to write about 30 comments A DAY. I easily see that Lemmy is wayy more active than Reddit and this makes using Lemmy way more fun even when the content isn't here yet.
Way more active than reddit? That's a bit surprising, do you mean specific communities?
I mean people commenting and getting up votes on comments way faster. You don't get more than on reddit, but you get them faster.
Basically almost all comments have at least one other person upvoting.
Engagement is quite high, yes. On reddit especially on the larger subs you're either one of the first to comment or you get buried, and that's not just due to size but also reddit's hot sorting not displaying fresh comments with 0 upvotes on the top, unlike lemmy. There's always the option to reply to a random comment to get interaction by calling them wrong on the internet, but, well, then you're in a +1 -1 battle. Honestly it's a sad state of affairs.
What reddit does better though is pushing articles from smaller communities to my frontpage, I think the issue is that lemmy doesn't scale scores by community size.
Ah so your contributions have more chances to be acknowledged here because it doesn't get lost in the crowd and people interact more on average.
Same. I do get more replies here per comment as well..
