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
Isn't NSFW stuff a big part of all reddit OC content and the reason many still have an account there?
during the reddit blackout i tried tracking the general activity on reddit and the posts per day dropped by ~10% during that time while the comments per day dropped by ~20%.
When i looked where most posts and comments came from most of it was on porn and hookup communities. Lots of it was also obiously botted.
Always knew that porn on reddit was a big thing but i never realized the scope.
They can't run ads on the subs though so they can't use it to monetize. Big reason they got so pissed off at mods changing subs to nsfw
And reddit these days only cares about PR so can also be a time bomb. Only surprised they haven't nuked everything NSFW
Hard to believe but still true: Some time ago even Onlyfans, which was originally intended as a platform for fitness videos and the like, tried to ban NSFW content for exactly the same reason - to the surprise of absolutely noone it wasn't a very successful endeavor and was quickly withdrawn.
I doubt Peter was surprised either.
I know it's the only reason I ever end up there these days.
There are niche subs that don’t exist here. The popular, million+ subs are all trashed, like a NYC sized garbage truck and a couple whales exploded, together. That’s just Reddit post going public.
Even so, there are no well populated hobby or career sites here, for example. And sometimes Reddit still has the only spoiler gaming guide on obscure things.
Well, there's progress being made on some at least. I'm trying to breathe some life into !musicproduction@sh.itjust.works
I have no idea what is going on in sports anymore now that i don't have Reddit. The fediverse is absolutely terrible for sports news
In mosta cases, the subs DO exist but there is lottle activity in them. The situation would probably be a lot better if some of the lurkers on here would post more regularly to their special-interest niche subs.
Unless your hobby is !selfhosted@lemmy.world or you're a programmer or sysadmin.
There are definitely more active hobby subs than that. Yes, you might only see a dozen of names actively posting/commenting in that community, but it is an active community.
I only still go to reddit for that on one account (in incognito). My main account has only recently logged back in for regular browsing (but I try not to comment and I only use old.reddit + res) because Reddit is where a huge amount of the information I'm trying to find online is still housed, game information, niche hobbies, etc... It may be rotting from the inside, but its corpse is still walking and talking, and until the situation gets bad enough people are going to continue using it. I only interact here, but with the nature of how small the communities are, and the fact that I use [All - Top -Past 6 hours] my front page is still basically just the same articles about every fucked up thing going on around me posted onto every instance so I see the same headlines and pictures of Trump almost a dozen times, interspersed with various fetish porn communities.
Feel free to block mentions of him name, either on your app or using a uBlock filter: https://lemmy.world/post/24545370
Thanks for posting this. I was wondering about a way to filter posts.
lol if i filtered out trump/musk posts and block the furry instances there would be nothing left!
Try sorting by scaled to we posts form smaller communities trying to grow.
!movies@lemm.ee
!casualconversation@lemm.ee
!homeimprovement@lemmy.world
!patientgamers@sh.itjust.works
!showsandmovies@lemm.ee
!photography@lemmy.world
!newcommunities@lemmy.world as a way to discover other ones
There is lots of stuff on lemmy outside of Trump/Musk and furries (tbh I think either I blocked the furries or somehow have not come across it for months now)
If old.reddit.com ever stopped working, NSFW content would be my primary reason for downloading the app...lmao
