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.

I used RIF for the longest time and I just can't with the official app. It's already awful and if that's what the website looks like now then the app will have a worse UI soon.
You guys are still using Reddit?
Also i need talklittle to either port rif or make it open source so we can port it ourselves ;-;
Unfortunately he is making it for tildes, a platform run by a single admin who bans people who have discussions about difficult topics
Yeah that's what I've seen too, I don't know why he chose tildes? It's not talked about, like at all. Seems like a big chunk of his userbase came over here
The admin there who owns the place seems to want to keep it small, so yes no clue why he is making his app over there at this point. It's clear the owner of tildes doesn't want the place to grow. He just wants a bunch of people circle jerking each other in their echo chamber.
Difficult topics = dog whistle
Uhh, no...I was banned for discussing a topic about how obesity is the number one killer and not tobacco...how is that a dog whistle?
But to people like you, anything you disagree with... instant nazi right?
No, just Nazi stuff.
I use Connect and it is the closest thing to RIF. Over the last few weeks the app has improved a ton.
Ooo, I'll have to check it out. I'm on Jerboa, which is good but I miss the buttons for snappy movements between comments that rif had the most
I know right I feel like I'm going crazy but no other app has these buttons and no one else mentioned them
Connect for Lemmy has the buttons, but also has these weird animations and they're slightly different (like they don't exist for nested comments, just the return to parent button)
+1 for connect from another RIF migrant here.
How do I send you and the developer $5
The devs info is in this post: https://lemmy.ca/post/2614066 . There is a link to "send him a coffee". I don't need the cash, so give my $5 to them. ;)
I check in on one specific community and feel sad that the users are still there. But one of them signed up here today so there is hope!
I was being a little cheeky, I get it. I have a personal feed of reddit posts that get pulled from the subs i miss without me needing to visit the site.
The migration will be slow, but hopefully steady! Honestly, the lack of content kinda sucks but its much higher quality and the discussions here are way more personal which is really nice.
Any tips how you pull stuff to read out of Reddit? RSS or something else?
I wrote a python script that uses the API (unauthenticated), it's still in early stages right now but I intend to clean it up over the coming days and then publish it on GitHub -- I'll send you a link when i do :)
That would be great! Thanks!
Here is the git repo: https://github.com/jivandabeast/RedditLemmyConverter/
It works pretty well, but I still have some updates to make. However, its there in case you or anyone else has any contributions they would like to add
Still use reddit and twitter for sports news and updates and a few fringe topics and I read only. Shut down my reddit account around 2019 and only have a twitter account because its a pain to view stuff if not logged in. Have never posted anything there.
