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 people believe what they want to believe but it's very apparent at this point (as expected) that the API changes were not a "fatal shot" for Reddit, nor will this be.
If there's anything Twitter has taught us, it's that there's no amount of abuse the average user won't tolerate once they're locked into your ecosystem.
Some less-applicable examples are abundant: Meta? Wells Fargo? Apple? Google? I mean pretty much every publicly-traded corporation in existence, really.
Consumers have no spine.
It's kinda hard to cut out something like reddit 100%. I technically stopped using Reddit, I've only been on Lemmy since RiF was shut down since I'm mainly a mobile user. I logged into my reddit account once and that was to commission an art piece. And that's something I'll probably keep doing because it's been the best experience for commissions.
There's also search inquiries that you can get actual answers to just by typing reddit at the beginning of your search. Like when my TV started having an issue I tried normal search results and forums, absolutely zero help. All the answers were either buy a new TV or call a tech, and the people that dealt with techs said it was minimum $300 for the tech to tell them they had to take the TV for a minimum 2 weeks. So I tried a search by typing Reddit in front and I found a solution within the first two posts. Lead me to a YouTube channel where the guy showed how to fix the issue in 10 minutes with just a piece of tape.
Reddit will keep getting worse, but there will still be useful posts from it's better days. I wouldn't say that it's that consumers have no spine, but rather it's a mix of old habits and sunken cost fallacy. But it will reach a point like Myspace and Facebook did and lose a large amount of users.
You should try Fiverr instead.
Being a logged out reader is far less valuable than a logged-in contributor. That's why Meta and Xitter don't let you do anything without being logged in. Fortunately that's something Reddit still allows.
I tried Fiverr a few times, especially after the Reddit changes. But i haven't enjoyed my experiences so far. I've also tried deviant art and art station, but so far HungryArtists has been a great experience. Would love to have that on Lemmy.
Dear god, now that you say this I realize it's just a matter of when. Why is enshittification so rampant?
Yeah I dunno. I'm kinda flummoxed that they haven't closed Old Reddit yet.
Xitter? You mean Twix? ;-)
