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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
I used to create new accounts and pick up some karma on those freekarma4you subs and similar, where people upvote eachother just for karma.
Last time I did this, recently, the account (which was brand new) was shadow banned in multiple different subs that I used to participate, without having had any prior activity on those subs at all.
I can only imagine there is some kind of auto filter shadow banning accounts which post on these karma subs that mods or admins are using now. So it will be even harder for newer accounts to participate, I honestly don't know how I'd have managed to get karma to comment on any sub any other way.
oh yea they shadowban karma farm accounts now, due to them being used as way of being sold to another user who wants to use hundreds of accounts to "add links to thier business, or OF acct". this is from what ive found out on another site(about selling/buying reddit accts with karma). they should get rid of the karma feature.
did you know Reddit also has CQS (community quality score) its a hidden metric reddit uses to determine "trustworthyness, and bottiness of an account. things like spammy behaviour, voting pattern, commenting,,,etc.
🤣 good luck reddit. I'm not coming back!
Reddit is currently feeding fedi new users...
Can't wait for march MAU numbers
Read the article and it seems very complicated to use reddit. Also I was recently told that 80% of their users are via cell phone vs. PC. I wonder if Lemmy's numbers are similar regarding users and cell phone
Last PC I bought was a laptop for school in 2020. Now that I graduated, it is a media server. There are only a few things online I can’t do mobile. There was almost nothing I couldn’t do when I had android.
I use a PC for work but am not going to do personal stuff on it.
Interesting how this is the new normal. I still much prefer a desktop computer.
I am so used to typing in the traditional way and never could get the hang of the 2 finger thing on a phone or Ipad.
