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.

I jumped ship permanently a few weeks ago. It was unusable. finding content made by a human is getting harder and harder. Its all just reposts at this point. Bots posting, bots commenting back and fourth to each other with prompts, ect. The whole place is a mess and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
Funny, because statistically it seems to be doing fine. Like Google searches for reddit have doubled in 5 years.

I have no idea how it has developed since they closed the API, except what I read on Lemmy, because I had already closed my account about a year before that, because the quality had deteriorated a lot already back then.
Lemmy though is nice, it's a lot like reddit was in the beginning.
Considering most google searches show reddit posts, its not too surprising. There's good info on it, but anything made more recently is pretty low-quality. There's still gonna be users on it, but nobody will know exactly how many are actually human.
