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.

Thank goodness for the Fediverse.
Main problem is finding communities.
Before if I had a problem with program XYZ, I would just search for "Reddit XYZ" and I would find and post on that subreddit.
But now that I deleted my reddit account, it's not as easy, you can't search for "Lemmy XYZ" and get the same immediate clear result.
... which doesn't have a decent search engine and barely any content other than memes.
I disagree. I have caught myself doom scrolling Lemmy lately.
Maybe it's just the communities that I've subscribed to. Other than memes, the next most active community is the Linux one. The rest all seem dead.
It's possible that Kbin still has federation issues and I'm simply not seeing all of the content from the communities on Lemmy instances.
There's plenty of content. It's just overshadowed by the deluge of memes. If you block most (or all) of the meme communities, you'll still have a good feed. Better even, imo.
