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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Crushed? Only bots and shills remain on Reddit. And old people. They're now the Facebook of forums.
moved to lemmy and never looked back.
Same
Same here
I’m trying to use lemmy more
Not this old guy
Based on what I've seen, I bet more older and younger people jumped ship than Millenials. Boomers tend to stick to platforms, but IME Gen X is pretty willing to migrate.
It'd make an interesting survey; I suspect a surprisingly large percentage of "old people" on Lemmy.
I agree. I'm old enough to have a grey beard anyway. Lemmy reminds me of the way back BBS times. Just as terrible in many ways but also shows great promise.
There are still some great forums around on niche topics. They do need an invested admin though. Our local PnP forum is so much better than the Discords.
Nah, you vastly overestimate the percentage of people of all ages that even care about anything that goes on like the protest. There are still a lot of people there, but it's nice that most of the "good" (not sure about the right word here, I think you get my meaning though) people left, and many came here.
IMO, Lemmy has gotten worse since a few months back, though. Many of the most irritating things of reddit have become more and more common. Misspellings, in titles especially, to a point where it's surely done on purpose for more "interraction", shitty spam, way to many bots, etc.
Did you deliberately write "to many bots" instead of "too many bots" in order to get this interraction?
Am I whooshing?
No it’s a self verification. Bots always write correctly and never intimidate, you fuckas.
