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~~
Hey, does anyone know when a new user can upload an avatar? I’m still being denied.
It take a few week on Lemm.ee IIRC. Most people wait for a bit, if that's really important for you you can have a look at https://lemmy.zip/.
You can export and import your settings from your settings account using the default UI

This is my first post, on my first day here, and it feels pretty good.
Welcome!!
It’s kind of a rush picking a username knowing most are still available.
Nicknames are per instance so your favourites are always available somewhere.

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
Big things are happening in the world right now. I know that it sucks.
I think Lemmy is a bit too complicated to attract the kind of light-hearted users that made Reddit shine. It's daunting unless you have nowhere else to go.
False we have :
!animalswithjobs@lemmy.world
!crows@lemmy.ml
!lemmybewholesome@lemmy.world
!TwoGoobers@lemm.ee
!taneggs@lemmy.ca
!relationshipmemes@lemmyis.fun
!bats@lemmy.world
!Dullsters@dullsters.net
!bun_alert_system@lemmy.sdf.org
!hydrohomies@lemmy.ml
!nolawns@slrpnk.net
!foraging@lemm.ee
!succulents@midwest.social
!houseplants@manyplace
!zombiesurvival@sopuli.xyz
!vampires@lemmy.zip
And we might get a revival of !frogs@lemmy.blahaj.zone
All this is news and linux free. Enjoy!
People on
- !gardening@lemmy.world
- !casualconversation@lemm.ee
- !sillydrawingrequests@sopuli.xyz
- !askouija@lemmy.world
Seem to be doing fine.
There is a pinned post with non-political communities on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca

I had a discussion the other day, where people were not happy with lemmy instances not handing data over to google. They argument was that we should do everything so lemmy can be found more easily, as the only goal is to "win" against reddit.
Unfortunately in that discussion people were not interested in using Lemmy and the Fediverse at large to create a positive vision of the internet. They just wanted to stick it to one corporation they don't like. I don't like reddit either, but i think we should thrive for a Fediverse that upholds decentralization, open source and non commercialization of social interactions. All the large Internet corporations want to create the opposite and have been quite successful so far.
I agree with you. It’s short sighted to give in to a separate corporation to “beat” the first. The only way to beat Reddit is to stop using it and forget about it.
The goal should be to remove the ability for a single entity to control the public flow of discourse.
I’m off to buy a Lemmy sticker to put on my thinkpad
They will come, and they will go. Let them.
Blocking all of the political and news communities can help
!communitypromo@lemmy.ca has a pinned post without active non political communities
Use an app with filter lists. Add american political terms to filter. Experience gets muuuuuch better.
You can also block certain users who post in a certain way.
Feel free to practice blocking users on me.
For those of us using Firefox there was a post on !youshouldknow@lemmy.world on how you can use uBlock Origin to create word filters.
To do so, open up the uBlock Origin dashboard, go to the ‘My filters’ tab, and add this filter:
lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/word1|word2|word3|word4/i)
For example:
lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/Trump|Elon|Musk|nazi/i)

Dozens? More.
I'm loving it already! And...I'm not scrolling through ads too!!
Every time I end up on Reddit the amount of ads makes me recoil. You’re free now!
