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 was just browsing a thread on c/nfl looking for new mods. There were multiple 12+ year Redditors there offering to help.

Got me wondering. There are 14,000 of us in this community. How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?

Edit: I didn't expect this post to be as poignant as it became. There are so many of you... I can't reply to everyone. I'm an 11 year user and have modded something like 150 subs over the years. I'm really sad too, but I'm finding that lemmy has most of the content I'm looking for, just needs more comments.

The API was a big blow, but removing awards on past posts and deleting coin balances is really dumb.

Way more active than reddit? That's a bit surprising, do you mean specific communities?

I mean people commenting and getting up votes on comments way faster. You don't get more than on reddit, but you get them faster.

Basically almost all comments have at least one other person upvoting.

Engagement is quite high, yes. On reddit especially on the larger subs you're either one of the first to comment or you get buried, and that's not just due to size but also reddit's hot sorting not displaying fresh comments with 0 upvotes on the top, unlike lemmy. There's always the option to reply to a random comment to get interaction by calling them wrong on the internet, but, well, then you're in a +1 -1 battle. Honestly it's a sad state of affairs.

What reddit does better though is pushing articles from smaller communities to my frontpage, I think the issue is that lemmy doesn't scale scores by community size.

Ah so your contributions have more chances to be acknowledged here because it doesn't get lost in the crowd and people interact more on average.

[–] Grungeehamster@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same. I do get more replies here per comment as well..
