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.

Happy to be here. Leaving reddit for this place was a great decision. πŸ’ͺ

Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in

[–] GardeniaSky@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This seems really cool. It's taking me a bit to get used to but honestly I'll probably stay here.

Tens of dozens even

[–] jaided@discuss.online 91 points 1 week ago (8 children)

This is my first post, on my first day here, and it feels pretty good.

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Welcome to Lemmy! I hope you have a great time here! πŸ˜ƒ

[–] PaulBunyan@lemm.ee 48 points 1 week ago (5 children)

It’s kind of a rush picking a username knowing most are still available.

[–] DeadButGonnaMakeIt@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I know! I hadn't even thought of that until I saw someone's was like "mee" and now I need to get another account. It's like how people get caught off guard when I tell them my 20 year old email is just my name with no numbers or special characters.

So tasty names still available

(There always will be many good names available since every name can exist once on every instance)

Welcome to Lemmy. Here's your Molotov, the guillotine is just down the hall. First left.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 18 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Let's be real, we ain't touching grass, let alone take action.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We never said they're real.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 13 points 1 week ago

Yes, of course, strictly in Minecraft.

I'm loving it already! And...I'm not scrolling through ads too!!

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Every time I end up on Reddit the amount of ads makes me recoil. You’re free now!

Showed as white on white on my UI, so here's the picture below.

A few pointers for new joiners:

[–] debil@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah, shows my image editing fu. Thanks for pointers! I did do a search but turned out my fu is not particularly strong there either...

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago

No worries, thank you for this post, it's nice to welcome people from Reddit!

Welcome! It's nice and comfy here, if a little less of an infinite content-hose compared to Reddit. You might need to do a little more heavy lifting yourself in terms of posting and commenting, but on the plus side - people actually read what you post, instead of being drowned by a deluge of spam and bots! And discussions are mostly friendly and civil!

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 12 points 1 week ago

Yes that's what I've found! There's less of it but the quality is far better, the atmosphere is far better and it's like reddit used to be years ago. I've missed all that and I'm so glad I found lemmy. ☺️

Dozens of dozens of dozens of dozens of dozens... 112,744 to be inexact...

Lemmy Total Users by Day: 1,352,936 for 3/12/25.

Divided by 12, that's 112,744 and some change... probably a couple of baker's dozens in there....

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Looks like ~53k monthly active users, I think that's a better stat, since it doesn't include people making new alts and abandoning their old accounts.

Can some people who are willing to post something other than American politics and Reddit bashing posts join lemmy soon, I'm sick of my entire feed being nothing but all these negative topics

[–] Liljekonvalj@feddit.org 13 points 1 week ago

Big things are happening in the world right now. I know that it sucks.

BuT WherES aLL My KaRMA?!? /s

fucking happy to be here!

[–] HalfSalesman@lemm.ee 19 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Be mindful of the smug "Lemmy Culture" hipsters, they'll eventually weed themselves out or self segregate though as more normies flow in.

I welcome the masses.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

nazis can stay the fuck out, though.

How come theres been an influx of users recently? Did reddit shit the bed again?

[–] LonstedBrowryBased@lemm.ee 22 points 1 week ago (11 children)

Yes they started banning thousands of active users for β€œinciting violence” if you say things like β€œfuck Elon musk” or β€œmy favorite character in super Mario bros is Luigi”

Reddit recently started doubling down on far-right actions. Like making it so you can be banned for just upvoting a post that breaks the rules, or banning you for saying the name "Luigi."

Personally, I recently got permabanned for being truthful about fascists.

Welcome. I think you will like it here. We're kind of like reddit except we aren't trying to make money from you, or your content. And we are more likely to follow the golden rule. And swear. Lots of swearing.
