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.

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. **

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 joined 2012. It's a weird feeling leaving it after so long.
My account turns 11 on August 11th... lurking 2-3 years prior. As soon as the news was dropped about API changes I came over here and switched between the two. Stopped using reddit overall once my app wasn't supported. I miss my small communities and the news from my city but I can't continue to support it
I don't know. How long ago was 2015? ... Shit I'm old.
13 years user, and lemmy reminds me of year 1
Yeah, I'm a 10 yearer. Shame, I loved Rif.
I deleted my alt with 45k comment karma that was I think 14 years, my oldest account is a version of my actual name that I don’t want someone taking that is 16 years old, that I didn’t delete, but I did nuke all my comments.
Yep 10+ and I left about a week after RIF went down and deleted my account about a week later. Haven't looked back.
I was on Reddit since Digg went the way of the dodo. Changed accounts one time, the one I deleted when Apollo died was just shy of 10 years. It was tough.
12 years of heavy activity here, I nuked my account 6 weeks or so ago.
I dunno... 2009ish
Not sure how long exactly, but probably more than 10 years. And I'm gone!
Deleted mine a month ago.
I don't miss it one bit.
Around 8 years here. I really hate ads, so i just leave this shitty network.
11+ years with an account and 15 or so as a lurker checking in
11 years. I want to view controversial content and I'm not feeling too optomistic about lemmy world either.
Left when Apollo wasn't allowed to continue
11 years over here!
11 years
I left at the start of the blackout which was 2 weeks under 10 years for me.
11 years. Had to use an extension to manually block Reddit to stop myself from automatically going to Reddit for the first two months.
I started using around 2013, a guy in my math class showed me the site, and I hadn't taken a single day off until a couple of days after the r*ddit ama. Now I will live and die on Lemmy
I was there for nearly fifteen years. Been looking for an excuse to dump Reddit for a couple years now, ever since lockdown when I got in the habit of checking Reddit a dozen times a day.
10+ years. Deleted my account, posts and comments. It was long and slow decision. It's just not the same reddit I feel in love with. Carma whoring, vanity, both far right and far left junk, bots (hate bots), the terrible UI... Finally, when I could no longer use RIF, that was it. I actually worked on a reddit API based app a few years ago and this really pissed me off on that level too.
I'm one of 'em. Killing Sync (and every other awesome 3rd party client) was the straw that broke this camel's back.
I was there since 2010, then I got banned for getting into spats with fascists. Fuck’em all. Reddit sucks. Free speech my ass.
15 year club here. Deleted and never looked back.
10 years here and started with BaconReader. I had a long, 5-ish year hiatus for no particular reason from Reddit and started using it again in 2019 on the official app.
I just logged back into Reddit via RedReader to find communities to join here on Lemmy via Liftoff. I'm hoping more Redditors have enough of the BS and migrate here!
I spent 5 years on Reddit, a made a lemmy account after the API changes
I saw the writing on the wall,
