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.

Mine was 12 coming up on 13. Haven't gone back since RIF stopped working.
Don't think quite a decade, but definitely the better half of one.
15 Year club... sad to leave. But even sadder to see what has become. Don't plan on deleting my account but I won't renew my premium when it comes back up.
11 year refugee here.
12 year old Reddit account here. Though, for every end there is a new beginning. Looking forward to seeing how Lemmy continues to grow. 🙂
I lost access to my first account, but it had to have been before 2008 when I created it--because I remember when they added user create-able subreddits (and I just checked at that happened in Jan 08). My second(or third?) account had 13 years on it when I left reddit.
So, I'd say I was on reddit for ~16-17 years.
My oldest account is just under 14 years old. I only visit to check on the status of my data download, and check on one sub once a month.
My 12th Cake Day was last week, which is how I discovered I had the Reddit app still installed on a test device that was my daily-driver a few years ago
14 years here. Really optimistic for lemmy given how good the app story has become so fast. Hoping the user base keeps growing so that more niche communities hit a critical mass here.
I think I had 9, but a year or two of lurking prior.
Almost 11 years with this username, a few years before that with another account that was linked to IRL stuff so decided to dedoxify myself.
I'm glad tbh - Reddit's been tailspinning as an experience since 2016 at least, it's just become much more aggressive about hating it's userbase and free labour recently.
Who can say, but I have largely left the site.
Around 8 years here. I really hate ads, so i just leave this shitty network.
11 year old reddit account deleted, plus an anon alt for gaming stuff.
I had no interest in using reddit without Apollo anyway, but the way they treated Selig and the other devs was just mind blowing. The treatment of mods after I'd already deleted everything just made me more sure I'd made the right decision.
12 years here sounding off
About 15 years here. Just couldn’t help it grow any bigger after what it became
12 years here
I've all but stopped using Reddit. I was extremely active for well over a decade.
Said it elsewhere sometime yesterday-- bout 13 years.
11 years
11 years haven't been back since boost died
11+ years here. Deleted and haven't looked back. I miss my crafting and witchy communities but I don't regret leaving.
I had various accounts over the years, but switched from Digg, which must've been pre-2010.
It's sad, but most communities felt crowded with people jumping down other people's throats, so I don't miss many
12 years and honestly it’s a welcome change. I see others upset at the content quality but for me it’s a breath of fresh air and gives me good vibes.
10-ish years here. I haven't used it on my phone since the cut, but I sadly can't really quit it completely, since a lot of communities haven't migrated and I have to use them for my hobbies. Most of their discords are sadly very dead or full with memes and no real discussion. When (or if sadly) they all convert, I can quit Reddit completely. Until then, I try to use it as little as possible.
Still participate in a few communities sparingly. My activity is single points of what it used to be.
9y7m with 200k+ karma. I had used Reddit to look at porn for few years before that but finally made an account to ask some tech support question...
I got perma banned not quite a month ago, it was a pretty shitting thing I did so probably deserved it. Definitely helped me in jumping ship.
I think I joined in 2010 or 11, just to follow the cavs sub and a few others then I think I went all in the span 2014-22
13 years. I'm done with the platform but not just because of their API bullshit.
My worldview and beliefs increasingly seem to fall just slightly outside what Reddit mods and admin find to be acceptable opinion.
I think I'm a pretty logical and reasonable human being, but apparently my beliefs about the way of the world are enough to get me continuously banned from the platform. Genuine 13 year account, then several newer ones. In the end I have just come to terms that Reddit isn't for me. They don't want me there and that's fine.
Long time Usenet user, started Reddit in Feb 2013. There were a few scandals and growing pains, but it always felt like a (somewhat rowdy) community. As a user-centric volunteer generated forum I never imagined it would succumb to corporate greed, but here we are. Or, there we were. Lemmy feels like a breath of fresh air.
I deleted an 11 year old account.
12 years on Reddit. Found it after digg messed with their site design causing a mass exodus. Now it’s happening again! Weee!
Well, I don't qualify, I just have just 9+ years...
Miss RiF.... But it was perhaps all for the better... Even if we had to make some sacrifices.
Only 9 years here.
I have the 5 year trophy. Not nearly as many years as 10, but still something. I also left Reddit.
11+ years, here
