Reddit is the toilet of the internet.
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.
It is somewhat sad to see slow death of such old platform.
I'm OK with it at this point. Its run its course.
Imagine if only Reddit wasn't a US company and had more chances of surviving the total eshittification happening in the whole country.
I'm imagining Lemmy.
Nothing lasts forever.
It still works, but is convoluted. If you add r/All (rrmember to not use r/all, the capitalization matters) to your profile, it still goes there.
or.... just not use reddit. Both options work.
i like farts
🍑💨 💦
hey, look, a comment that's higher quality than the average reddit comment
??
I literally just went there to check it out. I'm on old reddit, and r/all is still in the "tabs" section on the top of the page. r/all is clickable, it brings up content, and the top post is just over an hour old (and I clicked through to verify the time on the post.
Old reddit receive changes in the last order. It may still have a functioning community for some long time but this community will not be accessible from from anywhere else(mobile platform, Reddit new, etc.).
I happened to look at their front page the other day and they were promoting their April Fool's thing, whatever it was (I don't remember). But they explicitly said that you had to either use the app or log in to new reddit to participate.
In their path of killing their own brand, amazed they didn't yet fuck over Old Reddit's RSS feeds, or even ax those completely.
Not to worry, it's on their roadmap
Using a direct link stopped working today and redirects to your subscriptions. The only reason I looked at Reddit was to go to r/all and sort by new to see what was out there.
I've quit it for all except my reading and writing communities at this point, and only because I haven't found anything comparably sizable. If and when I can, I will be trying to help build up alternatives for those, though. Fuck reddit.
I was afraid of that. I still occasionally browsed r/all on my PC after work. I'm not interested in their latest or popular pages. I'm tired of algorithms deciding what I should read or watch.
Just let me discover stuff, damn. :(
The techbros: No.
reddit.com/r/All can still get you to the r/all page, but its all old stale content now and no longer updating
Seems to work in RedReader so far.
Still working as of posting.
Old Reddit is better.
I selfishly hope they remove that too. I was booted from Reddit a few weeks ago and now I can only browse old /r. If there is no old /r, then there is no Reddit for me, which would end up being a good thing.
Can barely even run their bloated modern interface without my tablet browser crashing, old is the only reliable way to use it.
The modern web is so incredibly shit. I shouldn't need a high end device to browse a web page.
I shouldn’t need a high end device to browse a web page.
Some pages, maybe, I could understand. Perhaps an online game or something like google docs.
But you should NOT need a high-end device to browse a web page of a fucking forum. (Guys, the modern internet was a mistake, let's go back to phpbb.)
You’d better start believing in old Internet forums… you’re in one!
I was still in that position last year so I get it. Saying I'd never go back if old reddit got shuttered. Don't even really have advice because I think my disgust with the platform eventually became strong enough to override my* habitual urge to keep visiting reddit on the regular.
That’s all it is, isn’t it? Habitual.
A double sided blade within the human condition yep.
curate what it wants to show you
Ads. This means ads.
Even if you are trying to just look at your own feed fully half of what you see if just random ass subs absolutely loaded with bot accounts pushing right wing bullshit and product placement.
Since the enshittification of most "free" (as in: "you're the product") search engines, I've always had to do "[search term] + reddit" to get unsponsored, not AI-slop search results. Off topic, but still.
Not sure how good reddit is for that half the time now tbh
yeah I don't even bother with adding it to search terms anymore
Firefox with the UDM14 plugin, and Google doesn't give me that ai crap anymore.
Google doesn't give me that AI crap anymore because I don't use Google anymore.
Fair. I didn't realize how embedded into my life I've let those fuckers get until I started looking into de-Googling. So for me it's gonna be a slow process, but I'll get there! Recently repurposed an OpenWRT One (a banana pi in a branded case, basically, for those who don't know) into a home server to start learning about self hosting, which I expect will help immensely on my quest.
Honestly, I still use Google Docs, just because it's incredibly useful for collaborating with normies without needing to get them to sing up for new shit. And because certain parts of my routine workflow are pretty dependent on it.
But Google Search? I haven't used Google to search for anything for ... well, for years now. Duck Duck Go works fine. It also tried to have AI bullshit, but at least it lets you turn the AI bullshit off easily and permanently.
Still works in Reddit Sync (with the Revanced hack).
It probably still works for you, like it does for my partner but not for me. This change appears to be a gradual rollout.
Continuum too, but I believe that's because these apps use old.reddit, from which they haven't removed r/all yet.
