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.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Reddit is just pissing me off more and more by the day. Every single post (at least a solid 4/5ths of them) ends up getting auto-filtered. Sick of it...

Preaching the choir here, but please use it as a motivation to feed the fediverse more. 👌

And related to this, a good use of the fediverse is that, if there's nothing inherently bad about what you're trying to post but your chosen instance is tripping like Reddit, you can just give the finger to it and pick another instance. Or if the community is the one tripping, you can make your own, or look for an already existing alternative.

Get. Off. Reddit.

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah. It was bad two years ago, and it got worse and worse until I dropped it a year ago. Can't even imagine (beyond what I'm reading here) how bad it is now.

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 hours ago

I left with the api purge, but seeing things here it seems to be much worse. And will continue getting worse, as is the way of for profit platforms like it

Most people are still on Reddit, lemmy isn’t big enough yet…

And it’s a paradox because if we keep using Reddit its user base won’t shrink and people won’t move.

So what do we do? Maybe keep going there to keep finding these really niche advices or fixes, but without interacting? IDK TBH

[–] Murdoc@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Think of it like an investment. Right now a person goes to reddit/fb/twitter/etc. because they get a quick payoff. By switching to fedi, you get less of a payoff now, but by helping to build it you get an even bigger payoff later. Anything worth doing involves some kind of "payment" or sacrifice this way. And like other investments, the more you put into it now (with content and getting others to switch), the sooner and bigger will be your payoff.

But as a bonus, there are immediate benefits to using fedi, so you get to enjoy those right away while you wait.

[–] kutt@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That’s a really nice way to put it, thanks!

Do you think we should completely leave the quick payoff platforms?

[–] Murdoc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago

Ultimately yes, but I know that this isn't always possible. I've left reddit completely for here (and yes, there is a lot of fun content that I really miss), but occasionally if I am looking for information and my search turns up little except for a link to reddit, then I'll go look. You have to judge for yourself how much you can "invest", just don't do it because it's less fun or whatever. And while reading is less of a problem than contributing, the more of that you do there, the less of it you are likely doing here, which diminishes the investment in this platform.

If doing it hurts, you should stop doing it.

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 4 points 11 hours ago

That's what my doctor said to me!

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I browse by c/All here, usually open a dozen or so tabs. Pretty regularly I come back to them hours later to read through them and at least one or two has the Error Post not Available message so the issue is present on Lemmy too, probably not to the same degree but still. I haven't put effort in to figure out which kinds of posts get purged but maybe I should.

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

That might be because of the current issue of users creating an account, make one post and then after a short while deleting post and account. It's often something divisive or clickbaiting.

The discussion has been popping up in a few communities, for example here: https://lemmy.world/post/42127013
