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.

Starts? My sibling in Christ, it's happening already.
My lemmitard in christ it hasnt happened yet. We are only a small .1% of crossovers and the whole fediverse is still less populated than r/malefashion advice.
By any measure, Lemmy/Kbin has already started to take off. Rome wasn't built in a day, nor was Reddit.
Someone needs to start a male fashion advice community and get them all over here then.
Do it! I wanted to like that sub, but just couldn’t.
You don't need everyone for it to take off. It's started. You also can't look at sub subscribers because there are a lot of dead accounts.
That is the worst metric for whether something is "taking off" or not. Reddit wasn't built in a day, and the fediverse won't be either.
Reddit kind of got lucky with the development of modern smartphones.
Old format forums that were designed for desktops were way too cluttered for mobile, especially with how small screens were back then. Reddit comes along with its streamlined take on forums as well as the ability to have a forum for any and every subject all on one site and it just took off.
Reddit got to where it is by relying on the labor of others. The original site code was open source, the mobile apps were made by other people, users moderated the subs for free, and users generated almost all of the content.
Well... They didn't have an app for the longest time. That's why there were so many 3rd party.
Reddit began as a clunky forum and was popular long before smartphones, though. And like the other person said, they didn't have an app for a long time. So this take of yours is a little flawed.
It wasn’t popular long before smartphones. It was known about, sure. But the development of modern smartphones is what made Reddit one of the biggest sites in the world.
I was on it prior to that so I completely disagree
It was one of the biggest sites in the world prior to smartphones? Ok
And now, it's back the other way, with too many web sites (including this one) tailored too far for mobile sites and not enough focus on desktops.
Showed Lemmy to a few friends and my significant other. Hopefully it keeps gaining critical mass with all the negative attention Reddit’s been having.
