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.

That’s an insane way to do something lol

Things always get lost in translation. A reader should at least be able to see the original so they can consult a different translator if necessary

It serves multiple stupid purposes. They're trying to appeal to international users. But also by auto-translating they've been increasing reddit's presence in search engines. That floods search engines with useless duplicate data. Am I the only one whose been seeing this? The same reddit posts in different languages will show up in search engines.

A lot of people don't seem to have noticed they also have been injecting content from other threads as "related content" or whatever. Site indexers pick up junk data. Irrelevant posts have been getting falsely marked as relevant to a search query.

Reddit is a nuisance. It amazes me how people are so attached to the idea that it's got content they can't find anywhere else. Are people using the same internet I am? Reddit is a poisoned well. It's nearly useless.

It’s one of the only ‘Third Places’ available
