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.

Plot twist: it's a ploy by reddit to get extremists off their platform and on to Lemmy

Having them pointed towards lemmy.ml is a little concerning.
To be fair, it was apparently posted in r/anarchocommunism, so I'd just chalk it up to knowing your audience. At least it was just .ml, and not grad or hexbear!

I made an alternative linking to lemm.ee
because in general this is a good flyer
We should do a bunch of them with varying non-Tankie instances
Like programming.dev or lemmy.blahaj.zone
Or maybe even better, have a small table at the bottom with their focuses
Yeah. join-lemmy.org unfortunately isnβt great because it often points to random semi dead instances.
Something like,
The instance you join doesnβt matter much β because you can access all content no matter what instance you are on β but it can be nice to be on an instance that shares you interests and values, because you will have to conform to the rules of that instance. Think of it like your clan β itβs like your email being yourname@yourworkplace β you can still email everyone else and see their emails, but it signals something about you, and it has different rules.
Here are a couple options:
General Purpose:
- discuss.online (hosted US)
- lemm.ee
- lemmy.cafe
- sh.itjust.works (hosted Canada)
Interests:
- mander.xyz (Science)
- programming.dev (Programming)
- infosec.pub (Cybersecurity)
- lemmynsfw.com (Porn)
Diversity:
- lemmy.blahaj.zone (LGBTQ+)
Regions/Langauges:
- jlai.lu (French)
- feddit.org (German)
- lemmy.ca (Canada)
- aussie.zone (Australia)
Ideology:
- lemmy.dbzer0.com (Anarchism and Piracy)
- slrpnk.net (Environmentalist Leftists)
- lemmy.ml (Authoritarian Leftists)
Please copypaste my comment and add instances / improve it
Whatever happened to Beehaw? Did they defederate so much to the point that they're not really relevant to other instances? I feel like they had an application process and were just generally walled off.
They also have stopped updating lemmy so they are running on really old software β which makes them incompatible with most apps!
That makes a lot of sense! I'm browsing with Thunder.

Technically correct, but I wonder how people are gonna handle the really serious dictator shit, like friends and relatives disappearing instead of tweets.
We need a place to communicate, coordinate, and share what's happening. Control of the narrative and the ability to prevent coordinated responses are essential for their plans.

I love it, but I fear for the day Lemmy becomes so popular that it is worthwhile for the corporate bots to begin gaming Lemmyβs algorithm to dominate front pages. I donβt think Lemmy is prepared to defend against this.
I am still new to the fediverse but I figured that smaller constellations will federate without connecting to the largest federation.
Itβs harder to manipulate 500 disjoint federations than 1 really large one. Especially when some of those federations rely on heavy verification.
Of course those smaller federations are likely organized around specific purposes or organizing interests rather than broad public discourse.
Part of what makes Reddit so great is the huge community of content creators. Both the posts and comments. Lemmy has slowly been catching up, but still is far off.
Defederating from large instances will just result in lower quality content for those instances. I would hope thereβd be a better solution, but Iβm not smart enough to think of one.
Maybe the secret is to let each instance control their own sorting algorithm. They keep getting the content from the large instances, but control how it gets brought to the front page. My guess is this would be no small task, but that would definitely make it difficult to game the algorithm.

I think we might reach a point that, instead of one application in the beginning, we'd have to have periodic "re-verification" to prove that you are human (and haven't been taken over by a bot). Like maybe once every 6 months. And on the 5th month, you can begin early submission for the re-verification application.
i left yesterday after 12 years. joined lemmy. the internet was a lot cooler before it was run by billionaires and ass kissers who are intimidated by billionaires.
fuck em all
Excellent. Every long term power redditor exiting is a good blow to reddit. They're left with all the lurkers who just want to consume content so they'll have to rely more and more on ai slop until people realize it's all fake.

They should really include the no ads thing. I think it's a great selling point, and it would be useful to leverage.
