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
 

I know this site is mostly critical of Reddit, and I tend to find reddit to be hard to use given that their spaces tend to be either ragebaity or polarizing. For those who still occasionally visit reddit, what are some current subreddits that you'd recommend nowadays? For me it's:

  • r/history - I like how they actively discourage non-serious comments and delete comments that violate their rules, so that sub feels like an actual forum
  • r/religion - the discussions lean towards neutral and welcoming, willing to discuss religions from their point of view without pushing their beliefs onto others (they have a rule that prohibits proselytizing). Great for those who want to inquire about a specific religion but the religion-specific subreddits are subjected to the average subreddit's shortcomings.
  • r/SeriousConversation - a nice space for those who don't want to chat through memes and insults

I hate to break it to you, but there is a 0% chance that anything on r/religion is unbiased or neutral. And Reddit in general, really.

For me the only subreddits I cared about were niche gaming communities, but I never liked them for discussion. I just liked them because they were usually a better news source for the games than Twitter.

No Reddit. Only Lemmy.

The only subs I still visit is the Sysadmin one because it is the best resource for what is going down in the industry even though I am not a Sysadmin anymore.

The only thing that wasn't already basically on Lemmy I used was perchance.org and we switched to lemmy during the protest

I use Reddit via one of three frontends (kddit, Eddrit, and Remini).

Some of my known haunts include:

r/nba. Wish the conversations would find their way here, but for now it's way more engaging on reddit

Now that you've mentioned it, subreddits with "r/Academic" as the prefix managed to create some communities here on Lemmy, but discussions continued on Reddit anyway
