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.

I left when they blocked third-party APIs to force people to use their app
Same. I was constantly on Apollo. I loved the dev and how active they were. I got all the fun in jokes and considered it a very nerdy activity to scroll Reddit. Swapped to a new instance after a while, so this account isn’t as old as that.
Now I’m on Voyager and have swapped to Linux, so I guess the hive mind here is strong too!
I was using RIF, it was doing the job

Thanks to Reddit is Fun for all the years. I didn't want to leave. Reddit kicked me out
Same. Their app is garbage, their moderation is unhinged, and their CEO and advertisers are right-wing MAGA freaks. I won't be back...
The correct term is Maga bots. And you ca tell they haven't discovered Lemmy yet. I also came for those reasons. The bots too. I still use Reddit here and there but mostly Lemmy only.
Samsies
Hard same. Precisely the same path. Enshittification at work.
This was my path too
Same here.
same. I was talking to a friend who regularly used reddit during the time all that was going down. Was pretty sure he was gonna migrate to lemmy with me.
He still posts reddit threads regularly in our group chat
I considered it, but didn't because of the communities I was still a part of.
I finally left when they IP banned me for saying stuff like "I'm surprised nazis aren't being attacked tbh"
the third party API thing is when I pretty much completely stopped contributing quality content, though. to anywhere - I don't really do that anywhere now. touched some grass, y'know?
I'm here for the same reason. Interestingly enough I figured out how to make the app I use work again, but by that point reddit had gone to AI slop hell.
Ditto
I was an avid redditor. It was my main filler activity.
I quit cold turkey with the API debacle and have never been back.
It was really rough at first, but I like it here.
Same. Although I do lurk a bit with rdx. But I won’t touch Twitter or any Meta products with a 10 foot pole.
And me
