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.

Can someone ELI5 this r/place thing? Despite my 10+ years on Reddit I have managed to not understand wtf is happening right now with this.
r/place is a site wide event where any user can place a pixel on the big canvas every 5 minutes or so. Communities will often coordinate efforts so their users can make art to represent their community. It looks like a lot of people have come together to make this Spez guillotine, which is fun.
Oh wow, I don’t know what I was expecting the answer to be, but that wasn’t it. That’s kind of neat, and also i am not surprised they are censoring things given the current state of Reddit. Bummer though. Why in the world would they bring it back at this point. What did they think would happen. This has been a wild ride.
Reddit is in a bad place right now (pun not intended) with engagement and content quality falling. To increase engagement and show the future shareholders that Reddit still "got it", Spez decides to bring back this popular event, which normally happens every 4 years (AFAIK, the next time it's supposed to happen is in 2024).
They also made "Fuck Spez" over much of the rest of the canvas. I saw a picture on Mastodon. I'll see if I can find it.

Basically you get one turn to place one pixel. By working together people and communities can make pictures and memes.
The Void is a bunch that just use black to consume everything.
After a little bit you can take another turn. So on and so forth.
In the past there were almost literal tile wars as communities fought for specific coordinates to color for whatever flag, void, meme or inside joke of the year.
