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.

Wait.. You can't say Lemmy on reddit? But saying Facebook or shitter is ok?

[–] nighthawkx@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lemmy does feels like what Reddit was 10-12 years ago. Smaller communities but great threads and discussions.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 16 points 1 day ago

We stole the old ways back.

I usually just hyperlink to lemmy with something else in the text to obscure it.

Like this. Come to the dark side already. We've got cookies and you need to sweeten the fuck up..

Seems to dodge the automod thus far.

It's just a matter of time. Digg will rise again. Digg will fail. Lemmy shall rise.

But - as someone who was on reddit back in the oughts, you should appreciate the fuck out of this community while it lasts. Something will inevitably fuck it all up, and we'll all have to move on again.

I'll try better to post more constructive stuff. But I'm usually just a quips guy. We need all your help!

You forgot the link, my dude.

Or am I misunderstanding and this is a directive?

Hehe I'm trying, sometimes lemmy fights me when I mess up the pic.

I've tried that many different types of unicode formatting and still had posts removed. I looked at removed posts from reveddit and my jaw dropped at how much they are censoring. Most common for me was Lemmy and Canada related comments or links.

I've tried that many different types of unicode formatting and still had posts removed.

Because mods aren't stupid, they can see the unicode. Only automod is tricked by that, and they're not the only mod actually looking at the subreddit they moderate. Any human reviewer can see through this.

I'm not surprised. When I was forced of the site maybe a year and a half ago I knew exactly the direction they were going. Facebook, twitter, etc. etc. We are the product. They don't want us to have ideas. If you knew exactly the evil thoughts that goes through the tech CEOs head you wouldn't be so quick to judge those who have gone out in a murderous rage.

Edit: Since I'm waxing poetic; if you're an anime fan rewatch full metal alchemist (I prefer brotherhood). There are so many analogies you can derive that are directly applicable today.

We are the fodder for the philosopher stone and the alchemists goal is to turn us and the homunculi into a tool that will summon what ever it is they want at their command.

Watching that now with my kids, it’s just as good today as it was when it came out.

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Have you tried Lemming? I figured it would be easy to migrate to that symbol. I'm sure there's pictures and emoticons too that could represent lemmings and thus Lemmy.

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (6 children)

It's funny because the app o use for Lemmy has reddit styled ads 😭 I hate it so much (I'm using boost)

[–] blackjam_alex@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Trying it out now. Replying is kinda stupid ngl though.

[–] tischbier@feddit.org 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

You can change the settings I think in Voyager.

Im on voyager now and I replied to you using the “…” and tapping “reply.”

You can also allow change the settings to show normal upvote and downvote buttons. (If your instance allows downvotes you can downvote on the down arrow button too. )

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Nah that's annoying too. I'm going to try sync or stick with boost.

[–] tischbier@feddit.org 1 points 13 hours ago

Ok sick I’ll check those out thanks 👌

[–] Girru00@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

If you mean the slider, fair enough.

If you were like me and didn't know about the double slider; if you drag the comment left, the first symbol is to collapse to parent, if you keep dragging a bit further, it goes to reply. Hope that helps!

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

I did not know. And toe it's still very stupid lol.

[–] Nusm@yall.theatl.social 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

⬆️ This is the way.

[–] AliasVortex@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Boost's ads are mostly there to support the developer, but a one time purchase ($5 irrc) absolutely makes them go away.

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I forgot Boost has ads because I support developers as soon as I can.

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can't spare it ATM lol. Paycheck to paycheck but literally.

[–] amorpheus@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago
[–] mle86@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

I use Thunder.

I love that there are so many different apps available for such a comparatively small platform as Lemmy. So many flavours to chose from :)

[–] Kalladblog@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Connect for Lemmy. I like the simpler ways.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

I use eternity

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

I always forget that it has ads until I leave my home network
