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.

Does this functionality exist on lemmy yet? I would like a random and a random-nsfw feed that samples the entire fediverse.
Yes, on the next release! I requested it a while back and it was implemented, but it just barely didn’t make the cut for the current release
There’s no random NSFW (yet), but you can get random for local communities, which would work on an NSFW instance
Not sure if it's just per client but Voyager has a "random community" button on the search tab.
It’s a little cludgy because it’s a hack, it really only works well on lemmy.world. There is a new API end point in the next version of Lemmy though, and Voyager will use that if your instance is upgraded.
Starter idea: it could conceivably fit in the Sort Type dropdown - respects the other settings (Subscribed/Local/All, Posts/Comments) and just throw results through a
RAND()(sic) function.It does with Sync for a Lemmy, sadly the app is busted with most instances I guess.
