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:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

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.

Isn’t Reddit banning big mentions of Lemmy though?
Apparently not fast enough, because the mention of Lemmy in the comments of the aforementioned Reddit post are what led me to join here today.
Ha. Same. Weathers nice here, think I might stay.
Welcome! A few pointers to help you settle in
Feel free if you have any questions
Welcome to the good old Reddit, aka new Reddit!
I posted a bunch of comments on that post earlier today! As far as I know they're still up too
One guy was even trying to argue that it's too difficult to make an account here.
Their bloodline is weak, and will not survive the winter.
Welcome to lemmy, have fun!
~~May God have mercy on your soul~~ Welcome, friend!
They don't. Some subreddits ban it, not Reddit itself.
From what I've seen it's mostly mods of specific subreddits removing comments that promote Lemmy. A few instances do get caught in the site-wide spam filter though.
Yeah feels more like sub mods afraid of losing power over actual Admin interference.
Yeah, but obviously they are also pretty dumb (they didn’t even consider what would happen if people edited comments after people upvoted then). So, not too hard to get around that.
Yeah, it’s remarkable how “dumb” and crude Reddit automoderation, recommendations, everything seem given how much money they make and use.
Say what you will about Facebook, but their tech stack is so real it’s dystopian.
Yeah, that’s because they only ever invested in what they wanted, not what served their users. Which always baffles me, when your only product is your users and their generated content, you would think the best business would be to give them what they wanted! Guess that is why I never bothered with an MBA.
No, if the end goal is quick money the strategy is perfect.
The best part? Short term investors love this shit. They thrive on volatility. A sustainable business? That’s boring and less profitable.
The site is turning to shit? Mods angry? Who cares. That’s the problem for whoever is holding the bag next.
