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.

I mean Lemmy isn't very open to alternative opinion either, but most people here are even more similar that we don't notice
Very much this. There are some views that are so pervasive here that people don't realize that alternative views are even possible, that anyone who says otherwise must be faking or trolling in some manner.
I said something wrong about anarchism once here on Lemmy and an extremely friendly user took quite a lot of time to help me educate myself, clarifying my mistake, recommending reading material and engaging me in frank and friendly conversation about the topic.
On Reddit, I'd either have been upvoted to the sky by people as ignorant as me (or more) or get called a bunch of slurs and told to go fuck myself.
Well by my own experience I had discussions here that my opinion were pretty controversial, but I didn't see anyone whining to me, they just told me they disagree and that was all.
It's not rule but compared to Reddit it feels another universe.
That's why I think Reddit shouldn't migrate to here.
There are a lot of great communities on Reddit still. Lemmy users are a self-selected bunch, and one of the things we self-select for is intolerance to the toxicity common on mainstream social media platforms, including Reddit. So we're safe from a lot of the problems that larger subreddits have to deal with. But there are some excellent niche communities there that would fit in very nicely with the Fediverse.
