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.

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.

The problem is Lemmy has completely squandered this time between waves of new users. There's improvements in the pipeline but it may be too late at this point.
Nah, word of mouth is powerful. I've been enjoying my time, and started to tell friends about it. Many are already bitching about reddit and their many poor decisions over the years, and at least in my social circle, others turn to me for what I use and recommend. I'm certain of course that there are many, many more like me.
It doesn't need to be a landslide, it just needs visibility with trusted friends using it to grow organically and easily.
No one squandered anything. The devs have been working full time, as well as third party contributers / third party apps & frontends. There's only so much work they can do. They're not a multil-million dollar company. Good things take time
Squandered how? It feels waaaaay more stable now.
