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:
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.
Very possible because more and more countries are bringing in mandatory age verification so it may be easier for them to just make everyone upload ID regardless of where they live ( because it solves the problem of people getting around age verification by using VPN)
Depressing.
all at the same time, at the behest of palintir, it wasnt by accident they all decided to have age verification.
The lady who spearheaded age verification in Australia is either the most useful idiot who ever lived or a lying snake. She talked about forcing us all to give our pictures to Peter Thiel like it was bringing the corporations to account.
Fairly likely if the current political climate continues. Could be a big boon for Lemmy honestly, if we've got the porn and no one else does.
Careful what you wish for, we might end up drowning in <16yo users.
Eh, plenty of adults also oppose having to provide their face.
I think the Forumverse should potentially prepare for this via scaling up, or increasing mod tools (or both).
pirating is so important these days
Always been important. But now it's more important than ever
Time to shine, https://fedinsfw.app/ !
Lol
Also do they ever fix their content warning page?
They did, yes.

This, in sync, opens a new window instead of opening the instance within the app. Super weird.
Sync was never really fully operational before it got abandoned. It's still got several pretty severe bugs. I love it, but it is what it is.
I recommend Summit instead, personally.
It's abandoned?
Yes. Last update was two years ago. Ljdawson is busy on other projects. I don't think Lemmy ever took off enough to be worthwhile for him to work on. To me it seems Sync was always a business rather than a passion project and the user base around here is not big enough to be profitable the way it was on Reddit.
It's a shame because I used to be a Sync user and liked it a lot. I am fully converted to Summit now, though. idunnololz is a great developer who has close communication with the community.
How do I make it so I don't see the icons from the instances? I just want the titles so like /memes but not [icon from memes] /memes
It's right there in the settings... Just search "community" in the settings and you'll find "Prefer community icon" under the posts feed customization.
Thanks. I was going line by line and I feel like some of the settings aren't in plain view... Maybe I'm wrong.
Didn't they already implement this for UK users and maybe Australia? If they already have the software ready to go there probably isn't much barrier to it happening
Only if you wanted to view 18+restricted content. Most of Reddit is still open access but if you click a darker sub or spicy user account you get bounced out to home.
But I do think the whole Reddit eco system is going to be subject to checks very soon.
they already freely gave the DHS on users data, although it wont be useful since its most AI bot posts.
I have a very slight feeling Reddit's working for China, and not for the US. If I'm right, then chances only grow since the pushes for identity verification gained traction around last September.
You misspelled Israel
