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.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Reddit will give wiki edit access to "high contributor quality" users by default, unless subreddits opt out within 4 days (lemmy.ca)

The modmail has been copied below. The announcement is linked in the first comment, and people are justifiably annoyed.

Hi Mods,

We are in the process of rolling out a big overhaul to Subreddit Wikis, including a new layout, tools, discoverability, and more.

TL;DR - We’ve given wikis a makeover. The improved wiki (launching next week) includes: new tools and layout, additional safety features, more edit access options, and improved discoverability. For those with wikis built on old.reddit, we’ll move your existing content over, so that everything is preserved. Edits made via old.reddit after the migration won’t sync to the new system and vice versa.

Keeping a wiki fresh and up to date can be time-consuming, and mods shouldn’t have to do it all alone. As part of this update, “successful contributor access” will be enabled by default for your community wiki the week of July 14.

The entire wiki or individual pages can be restricted to “mod-only” editing at any time (after the above changes are made) within “Wiki settings” found in Mod Tools on desktop.

This setting manages for quality and safety while enabling more Wiki maintenance support and relevant content creation. In early testing, subreddits with this setting enabled did not require mod revisions.

To opt out of this setting being turned on in your community before July 14, please let us know via this form.

Honestly this doesn’t seem like a bad idea? Subreddits/communities as mod fiefdoms has almost never worked well imo.
