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:
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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
Lol nothing says we are afraid of the working class like banning subreddits on suppressed news they don’t want us to see. I came here bc I got a warning on my account for liking a comment that said “Luigi”. My alt account got banned for sharing the DOGE email list that is public info. Fuck Reddit. I’m done.
We have moderators here too. Significantly more adequate, I would even say nice, but still. And they delete messages from time to time and even ban people. So keep being vigilant.
The difference is here you can check the mod log to see what actions have been taken and what reason was given for it, and power tripping admins can’t reach beyond their instance.
Yep, users and communities can shift away to a new instance if they want. While the fact that there might be 3+ communities on different instances all covering the same topic is a weak point, it's also a strength in this regard, so it kind of evens out. And if you really want to, you can make your own instance.
I feel like there has to be a solution to that though. Some way to seamlessly consolidate subs for the front end.
I hope not.
Consolidating them is not a good outcome. We want them to be separated because they’re seperate for a reason.
Imagine 3 people baked a delicious bowl of beans, but 1 tastes like arse to you. Would you want all 3 bowls poured into one and ruin the taste of the 2 good bowls?
You don't consume one bean at a time though. The existence of a lazy or boring post doesn't ruin the good posts next to it. You can't scroll through the beans from the crappy batch to only eat the good ones.
Besides, that's still a solvable problem. I'm talking about a front-end solution, something that could be customized. Like a multi-reddit on reddit, but easily shareable like a starter pack on Bluesky. And if the multi-pack isn't to your liking, you just edit it for yourself.
On reddit side, they are hiding more and more the reason why they are banning, and are only giving vague reason why this or that acct is getting flagged. th
I attempted to post an original comic on Lemmy to what is basically the only comic strip sub. It was probably the only comic that had been posted that week that wasn't on reddit first. It got removed for profanity. The profanity in question? "Balls".
I posted it to reddit after that, and it hit the front page of r/all. Not to toot my own horn, but that's some good fucking original content that the comic strip sub on Lemmy could have used.
That does suck, it's kinda sad that the most popular Comic-oriented community is that uptight about profanity.
Although, if that happens again I suggest trying on a different community, even if it's not fully comic-oriented or if it's smaller (c/comics@programming.dev for example, it's mostly inactive but it's not uncommon at all for posts from near-dead communities to gain traction anyway).
