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.

This sub, the one you are currently participating in by commenting on it, is titled “Reddit”…

[–] Famko@lemmy.world 23 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I'll be a bit pedantic and say that this is a community not a subreddit, since we're, y'know, not on reddit.

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 16 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Oh I thought “sub” was like universal terminology like “sub-forum” or something. So to clarify “sub” here is “community”?

[–] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 11 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It's fine to still call it a sub. Everyone know what you mean. If anyone else really feels the need to be pedantic, it's just not a "sub-reddit," but you still "sub-scribe" to it, so...

Indeed, and the distraction from the point that someone was complaining about having to read about Reddit in a Reddit community was not worth the tangent.

Are you talking about this magazine?

Does kbin even exist anymore?

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago

Apparently it's been dead for a few months. I just found out today. Some other devs have forked it and their biggest instance is https://fedia.io/ now.

[–] wisely@feddit.org 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly I dk. I stopped using it two years ago because of technical problems. Just checked for the first time since 2023 and it's down for maintenance. I have no idea if it's been like that recently or for years.

"We are working on resolving the issues

Over the next few days, there will be a change in server infrastructure. Temporary problems with the website's functionality may occur during this time."

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 hours ago

it's been like that for a long time. I believe ernesto has withdrawn from developing it. It's been forked as mbin now.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

yeah, and I'll block it, but you do realize, people who aren't subscribed still see trending on the front page right?

and I stick to my premise: you're here, leave that shit behind. have better standards. encourage those other communities to migrate over if you must but dwelling on spez's folly is just... bleh. no one should waste their time on it.

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 13 hours ago

I really don't understand your issue here. So should people not post their experiences and thoughts on social media?

It's a dedicated community for it, it's in the exact place it's supposed to be in. I don't see the point in restricting yourself because you don't want it to be on the front page or what not

Besides, it's still important to discuss the decline of a major user platform like reddit, especially since most of us here have personal experience with it, and likely have friends that use it
