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.

I'm an exodusee as well, just a minnow at this point.
I just got sick of the right wing bullshit, the censorship, the shills, the morons, the bootlickers...
Hello all
Oh, i approved your application a couple of hours ago. Hello! Welcome to lemmy and dbzer0. I hope you like it here :)
welcome in! insert obligatory ‚dozens of us‘ meme here.
Thank you!
Where is the door in case I get scared
The door is located after you click your username in the upper-right corner, and choose "Settings" from the drop-down. Scroll to the bottom of the page. On the left, in red, is a button to delete your account.
I'm not sure what really happens after that, though - I've never gone out that door. IIRC a deletion can take time, since various servers have to sync that information.
-Takes a bong hit-
So in a way, a recently-deleted account continues to exist across the Fediverse for a while. It is temporarily trapped to this plane of existence, until it can complete its final mission (deleting itself) across every corner of its known Fediverse. Then, and only then, can an account truly experience deletion.
-Passes to the left-
Mods remove a post from /r/worldnews about Musk pushing for the US to leave NATO because it’s “not the appropriate subreddit”…? Excuse me, what the fuck???
Mod decisions always baffled me, both on Reddit and Lemmy. We aren't immune to it.
We're witnessing the second reddit wave now, just like we always knew it would come eventually when reddit crossed another enshitification threshold.
Welcome all!
Ok, remove all military bases from those countries and expel all American soldiers and diplomats. No more sharing intelligence with the u.s, they’re compromised anyways
I came from reddit due to overt censorship, so yeah. I hope this place gets more populated, reddit definitely has the userbase advantage for now.
I've been here for a while now. The userbase can be seen as an advantage, but it's also a negative. Things move so fast in reddit and everyone is just passing by each other. You can have actual conversations here though. It feels more communal.
I want more users so niche communities can thrive, but I'm also worried about it becoming too much like Reddit has been for a while now.
Welcome in from the cold. We have hot cocoa and blankets.
Welcome!
Absolutely. I'm here after a decade+ over there.
Welcome in from the cold. We have hot cocoa and blankets.
And cookies.
The dark mode cookies in particular ;)
Wait a minute, this hot cocoa cup is just full of beans
Well...
You need to compile your own cocoa from the source.
Heres the conch, the cocoa beans are in your cup, a bit of sugar and a bit of milk.
If you need help compiling all ingredients, call the farmer.
And lots of gay
I've been here since they killed third-party apps. I regret nothing, this place is my home now.
Having not been using this place as regularly for the last couple of weeks, it definitely looks like there's more upvotes on posts now in general compared to when I started up here about two months ago. Even just before this latest Reddit fuck up, it looks a lot to me like there's been a steady influx lately. Like suddenly noticing that the grass has got longer.
When I made my Lemmy account (the day reddit put a paywall on the API) most posts didn't even have comments (sorting by hot/popular). And it would be common to run out of new posts after a bit of scrolling. Now it looks about the same level of activity as reddit 10-something years ago.
Oh yeah, I've only been on Lemmy a few months but I've noticed it. I was one baby face emoji (is that just a Voyager thing?) in a sea of old accounts, but recently I've been seeing more and more of those baby emojis
I think it is just a Voyager thing, on Thunder I see a pink name & cake if a user joined today
Welcome back!
Haha thanks! I've been lurking a fair amount. Just a little more distracted currently.
Feels like they promote lemmy the same way microsoft promotes linux
Basically yes. The alternatives passively become better simply because of the mainstream option becoming worse over time. I think it's still going too slowly in general but I'm not complaining, better slow than not at all.
Better slow than too fast too. Lemmy feels like a nice fairly small community. I'm not sure that'll continue once it's the size of Reddit. We'll get more content and niche communities will be better served though, so there's pros and cons.
What was the post, though?
Anyone know? Super curious.
Gonna? My fellow user of Linux, it's already happening.
nobody knows what that thread was. Nice post
I'm pretty sure OP posted the wrong image.
Me?
