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.

*pre-2010 Digg
Digg after that was no longer competition. It was an ad-riddled trash-fire which drove a massive number of its users away to places like reddit... including myself... who just kinda did something similar with reddit.
I went to Reddit from Digg during the great migration and I didn't look back. The Ads and format change were a huge misstep on their part. I honestly would have left Reddit when they went to New Reddit if we would have had Lemmy back then.
I never went to New Reddit...
I would have left even if Lemmy didn't exist.
Yeah, I jumped ship without a plan. After a couple days I remembered I had heard about Lemmy in one of the "What are you going to do on July 1st" posts.
Am so happy with the results that I honestly no longer care what happens to reddit, I prefer this.
Smaller? Sure, but it'll grow. Even if it tops out at current user base I wouldn't see that as a bad thing.
I know it never left for PC and I used it over there but I was mostly a mobile user and killing Apollo destroyed my desire for reddit.
I was also not a fan of some of the changes that affected everything like removing NSFW from r/all.
Same. In fact I tried to find alternatives but there just wasn't one at the time.
Old reddit still exists
For now, yes. As clueless and inept as Spez has been about this whole thing, it's only a matter of time until old.reddit gets nuked.
They already tried nuking i.reddit a few months ago.
There's a workaround, you can append
.ito the end of a URL and it works, but still, shame to see the lightest weight reddit interface disappearYes but evenso site wide changes still affected old reddit. NSFW subs were still removed from r/all and the sponsored content was still there too. Not to mention all the bots and spam. I was also primarily a mobile user so killing Apollo was the end for me.
