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
If you don't mind me asking what are the alternative platforms you use?( if you gave any)
you're literally on one right now
I really dislike those posts where OP pretends to be a genuine human and you get to the end only to see that it was a disguised advertisement
Would you still feel that way if I told you it was Engineered for Connection!?
In fact, every detail was crafted to make your digital life more vibrant, secure, and fun!
😭 yeah that’s exactly the kind of thing I was not trying to sound like just a small project, nothing that deep.
I get why it can come across that way , those kinds of posts are everywhere now.
That wasn’t really my intention though. I just mentioned it because it came from the same feeling I was talking about, not to push anyone to use it.
If it’s not your thing, that’s completely fine.
Thx for the comment👍
Reddit is full on captured by special interest. I've had a few accounts over there flat out get banned for made-up reasons, I've had benign comments get shadow banned, and if you go to places like /worldnews and go against the agenda of the moderation team you immediately get clipped.
Fuck reddit. It's dead.
I wish there were more active sports groups here. I do miss talking about baseball and stuff.
Isn't there a dedicated instance?
Honestly Idk! I'm new to this site so I'm still figuring it out.
There definitely WAS one
I may have muted it or something. My ALL feed was full of baseball scores
Oh interesting. How do you get onto that instance? Do you need to make another account for that?
!mlb@lemmy.ml
You rule!!!!
Just tap on the link and you should be in. It's not asking me for a login… (but I've only been doing this a couple weeks, too. 😁)
Weird in the upper corner it's showing me that I need to login!
🤔
It's cool I'll figure it out!
Yeah I get the frustration, moderation on big platforms can definitely feel inconsistent sometimes.
I think the part I relate to more is just missing those smaller, more normal community discussions, especially niche stuff like sports where it’s just people chatting and sharing takes.
Yeah agreed!
What I'm noticing is the increase in shadow banning (or at least I assume that’s what’s happening); you see a post with x number of comments, and open it up and only one or two are visible. Particularly if it’s a post that might be even slightly controversial.
What advantages does it have over the Fediverse on which you are currently posting? Is the source code published so that folks can check it out?
It’s not really trying to compete with the Fediverse or replace it. It’s more just me experimenting with a smaller, simpler space, less noise, less complexity, more low-pressure interaction.
So the “advantage” (if any) is really just that kind of vibe, not some big technical leap.
And no, it’s not open source right now. It’s just a small project I’ve been building and figuring out as I go.
