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.

80% year on year drop is impressive
It's almost like removing the third party apps that the majority of actual commenters and posters enjoyed was a monumentally stupid decision
I'm still sickened when I want to see a piece of media discussed and a few niggles with lemmy but I hate reddit now so I can't go back.
Try geddit if you're on android. It's an app shell for reddits RSS feed. There's no logging in, and thusly no voting or commenting, but it does allow you to create a front page and it lets you view the first like 30 comments. Also there's no ads and NSFW content isn't blocked. It's pretty good for what it is and you don't have to give Reddit money.
Find it on GitHub. I know you said you hate it and you're never going back, and I'm right there with you, but it is nice to check in on some of my favorite Niche subreddits once in awhile
Thanks man
