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.

I can only see one of those two posts (the second one) and it's pretty well reasoned (I don't agree though, just saying they did provide their reasoning in more than enough words imo). If you're interested, here's the link.

To summarize it:

  • UI worse than New Reddit (I personally agree with it being at least just as bad, that's why I didn't go to Lemmy)
  • Big instances are laggy (remember, the post is from 7 months ago not today, so don't compare the statement to how they are now)
  • Bad mod tools (a common complaint I see about Lemmy)
  • Too much far left and tech focus (another common complaint)
  • It's not active enough (yet another common complaint)
  • Shitty mods (I disagree with the specific claim made about them being worse than Reddit ones, but I've definitely seen at least one shitty mod here so far, and too many are neglectful)
  • Lemmy developers are Maoist (fact iirc)
  • The community is filled with far left extremists, Mao worshippers, dictator bootlickers, and genocide supporters (the one actually unreasonable take imo which indicates they went to the wrong instance)

The user got banned by the automod in the first one.

You got banned by the automod because your account was less than 24 hours old and you received 40 downvotes on a post. That filter is in place to combat spambots and trolls, because normal users are unlikely to trigger it by getting so many downvotes so soon after making an account

I messaged the admin and they already unbanned your account. ...
