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.
11 and I don't miss it anymore
13 years for me. Deleted my account July 1.
Over 10 here for me. I came with the great Digg migration.
11 years for me
13 years. At least 1 purely as a lurker before that. Reddit has been in my life longer than my dad 🤣
12-year club here. I still visit one sub-reddit because it doesn't exist here, but I don't interact. That's about it.
you could create it
13 years... Kind of glad to be done with it but I miss some of the niche communities.
10 years on the spot.
Here, but I still use Reddit for (the unfortunately many) communities that haven't migrated to Lemmy
I think 10-12 years, I’m not sure, I’ve had a couple accounts over the years.
I do end up back now and then, so many searches lead back to Reddit. But I’m not scrolling anymore.
13-15 years old so. Went there during the Digg migration.
My reddit account is 14 years old. I can't say how I found Reddit but I know I was there before the Digg migration.
8 years, fully done with reddit now.
I was there 11 years and only used the Reddit is Fun app. Kind of surprised how easily I was able to just cut it out of my life.
12 years on my account if I remember right. The account still exists, but I'm not logged in anymore - if I need to open reddit as part of a search result, it gets opened in a disposable container tab.
10 years for me, just had enough
My reddit account is a little shy of 10 years, I think I might be at 8 or 9. I haven't really commented on Reddit for a while. I won't delete my account completely, at least not yet. There's some more subs on Reddit that haven't moved to Lemmy/KBin yet, and of course I could be the one to bring them over and create a copycat, but that's a bit of responsibility and work. I am kind of surprised how populated Lemmy is already though.
I left digg a long time ago and switched to reddit, account was almost 13 years old. Moving on the Lemmy for similar reason.
I lurked from 2007 to 2009, finally created an account in 2009, and used just that one through maybe the first 5 years or so. In 2014 I started creating alts and deleting old accounts just to be able to cycle through some kind of anonymity to prevent cross referencing comments on one topic with my real identity on another. By 2019 I got pretty aggressive about anonymity and increased the number of alts and throwaways I used (and then used throwaway emails to "verify" with reddit, because I stopped trusting them with the backend data that could be used to correlate alts).
I deleted most of my alts, but kept two, for specific niche interests: the one I used to comment on the nuts and bolts of the legal profession, mostly in private subreddits that weren't crawled by search engines (or AI training), and one that participates in my city's subreddit about local issues.
At this point, I think the technology discussions on lemmy/kbin are already at or above the quality of reddit. There's still a ways to go with other general topics of discussion, but I think we'll get there on the big ones. I don't know if the niche topics will really take off, so for now I keep my reddit accounts that correspond to those.
10 year Redditor 13 years if we count lurking.
Just discovered Lemmy and plan to leave reddit at least partially. Reduced my time there already by more than 50% since the API stuff.
On reddit since 2011, used Rif since 2013. Used reddit through browser before that. I still had Rif installed on my phone after the switch to lemmy, and I used to take a look back to reddit every now and then. But now I have a new phone and Rif is not available on the Play store. I refuse to use the reddit app. Good bye Rif, you were my companion for many years.
I've been on reddit since 2010, stopped when the 3rd parties were killed. The only thing I really miss is magictcg, there's nowhere else online anymore that keeps track of everything. I miss my daily dose of Wizards of the Coast drama
I joined back in 2012 because I found more information looking up stuff there than I did on Google. I was one of those poor people who would go on reddit on the computer then go on the app and then go back to my computer. When I caught wind of what was going on with the third party and how it broke my favourite app Bacon Reader, I only went back just to see how many more John Oliver pictures were posted on r/pics and if there was any additional posting on and about pitties.
Lurked for a long time then made my account in March of 2013. Had around 180,000 comment Karma. Deleted all my old comments (and some of them even seem to have stayed deleted) and haven't been back in weeks.
Can't quite recall how long I was on Reddit for, but I joined very early on. Maybe 14 or 15 years old, my account was? Reddit had been getting rubbish for years, possibly the last 6 or 7. I needed this push, and something about Lemmy reminds me of old Reddit. How it was in the early days. Yes, Lemmy does have some work to do, but I don't think it needs to be as popular as Reddit. Let people use other sites too. Way too much in-fighting and faux-drama on Reddit. Hopefully, Reddit traffic will be split between three or four sites. This may stop many of the stupid clashes.
hopped on in 2011. stopped when apollo died
That would be me.
11 year, here. I lurk for it to supplement my news until Lemmy ramps up. Otherwise, I'm done there. Not exactly by choice, but because I was wrongly permanently suspended and admins refuse to listen to an appeal. Their loss, for I made them money through gildings both given and received, informative content, and reporting of incivility, bigotry, and violence.
12 years.. I closed my account June 1st haven't even opened the site
Created my first Reddit acc in 2008
Account just over 10 years, lurker for even longer. Don't really use it anymore except when following links etc
15y club here. Still go there from time to time, as there are very specific tech communities that I go to for help, unfortunately, but most of my social media is over here.
I made my reddit account when my ex was in the hospital having my daughter. I was on the site for a year or two before that, lurking. All deleted now.
I joined reddit in 2009 after lurking for a year. Loved it for most of the time. Account now deleted :(
I was a couple months away from my 10th cake day, but I'd been lurking for a few years before actually registering.
Here here
Right here!
13+ here
11 years. Just got my notification that my account data is ready for downloading. When I get time, the next step is to replace all my comments and then delete them prior to deleting my account. No plans to return.
