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.

If you want reddit content, go to reddit.
Most people including me don't care about where the content is posted. I just want the content and a good app to view the content. This is the real reason why nobody is moving from Reddit to Lemmy eventhough Reddit sucks.
Besides, there is no such thing as "Reddit content" or "Lemmy content". 99% of content posted on Lemmy isn't original either. Articles, videos, news, etc. are all crossposted from somewhere else on the internet. Lemmy is a content aggregator and community forum, nothing more.
Reddit has more content. And arguably, more content that is actually important. It has this advantage over Lemmy because Reddit is older.
If bots can bring the important information over to Lemmy, then that will make Lemmy more valuable. None of the anti-bot users are lining up to manually do all that work themselves.
That much is obvious, but Reddit also has so many reposts it's not even funny
Also there's a lot of trash on Reddit too
Comparing it percentage wise would be a fairer comparison, and imo the average post quality on Lemmy is so much higher than on Reddit. Wich would mean if you start bringing over Reddits content, you would automatically lower Lemmys average post quality
