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.
Do people actually like all of the overdesigned clutter to the point where it makes them not want to switch sites?
To me, the stripped down clarity on Lemmy is a feature. I remember back in the day when people flocked to Facebook from MySpace, in large part because they were sick of eye gouging customized pages and just wanted a simple, consistent interface. The content, not the buttons to click on it are the draw right?
Wait. All it takes is "it's round and not blue or grey"?
All these years, somehow, I've never seen new Reddit. No idea what it looks like or what it does.
Sometimes less is more when it comes to user interface.
Well good, maybe they'll stay on Reddit.
Definitely multiple sites on the fediverse can use some UI/UX tweaks and a high level pass on user flow and functionality. Like I get it, people shouldn't flock here and expect it to be a Reddit clone, but if people want mass adoption (and you do because you want comment and engagement), there needs to be QOL improvements to the core experience.
Lots of devs going around though trying to fix things up. I'm looking into kbin myself, but give it a few months and everything will be in a much better shape
I think kbin is pretty nice as it is and I am sure the developers will make it even better in the future.
A really nice bonus is the lack of advertisements on the platform (or maybe I am blocking it, I dont know?). compared to official reddit it feels very refreshing to only have content to focus on.
There will never be ads on this platform or any other fediverse platform.
Honestly when signing up they should just be assigned an instance. It does not matter to most users. Then send them the login server per mail
These people are why new paint colors are a major selling point for cars, or new default wallpapers are at the top of the changelist for an OS release. They are why "all new cars look the same" memes have to blank out the rims/hubcaps, because some people think different wheel decorations fundamentally change the aesthetics of the vehicle, and the aesthetics are a primary factor for them.
People saying these things are the summer children of the internet. They are innocently naive and simply don't understand what they saying.
Exactly, they should search how Reddit’s original frontpage looked like. I have a feeling none of the people saying that even use websites, just apps
Or, they perfectly know what they're doing and are trying to divert people from alternatives. Hanlon's razor does not always apply, stupid can be at either side of the stick/carrot.
In all seriousness, I agree that is quite likely the case.
I love the simplified interface. I do wish I could have a 'Front Page' view that creates an equivalent Community of all my subscriptions.
Wouldn't put too much thought into it. Most of the shills are bots.
I still find it amusing I was banned from r/worldnews for a day for calling a russian shill a shill.
