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:
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 had been using Relay for Reddit Pro until today, the API finally switched over and it doesn't work without updating and paying a subscription.
I had already been 50/50, now I can only access the terrible Reddit application on my phone, so I guess Lemmy is all I have on mobile.
ah yes, just like how the oh so mighty mods pissed their panties with the blackouts, really killed reddit too that one huh
One thing holding me back from stopping to use reddit as a whole is using old.reddit in the browser. Can't stand the new design, and once they remove that option - never looking back for real.
On mobile, Lemmy all the way.
Can I interest you to old reddit like theme in Lemmy.

the final nail for me happened long ago. the site has genuinely sucked for years. all the content in the top subreddits is basically ChatGPT generated rage bait, so many subreddits have turned into right wing shitholes, and Reddit themselves have proven time and time again that they do not care about their users. as always their greed has gotten the best of them
the exact same thing happened with Discord. I've actually disabled my Discord account and only use my Reddit out of habit at this point
Fuck spez. Aaron never would have done this
Aaron was also only with the company for like 3 months.
It's not the end of the world, it's the end of the world as we know it.
Reddit is becoming a harsher place for the kind of community-driven, higher investment content that made it what it is today (which is less profitable) and a better place for mindless scrolling and sleazy engagement-baiting mostly fed by automatic content aggregators (which is more profitable).
Plenty of communities will remain due to inertia: switching platforms is hard. As far as I'm concerned, I will keep using reddit for two reasons: and to check in on a few communities that I am actually engaged in.
Well, I've kept my reddit account as I use it occasionally from desktop... Guess it's time to finally say goodbye.
I don't like reddit... But here's my question though, since lemmy is federated and all that data is available for access... what's stopping anyone to integrate into the system, collect it all, analyze it and sell it?
So what's the current method for overwriting and removing comments before account deletion?
Sucks to suck.
