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.
13 years. Found Reddit from visiting Popurls after ditching Digg, after leaving Catch.
16 years there. Once Boost stopped working I got off the site and migrated here. I've read threads that come up in Google searches, and looked at some specialty subs since, but nothing longer than 5 minutes every few days.
Two accounts. One I used to moderate that I made in 2009, and my other account was made about 10 years ago.
Used RIF on mobile and RES on desktop.
Now I use neither, deleted my moderator account and just left my more personal account to rot. (Don't want to delete everything on that one just yet).
Had an account since 2011. Deleted it mid July. Haven’t logged in once. I miss the metalcore community but that’s about it.
14 years. Mostly on RIF. Deleted my account on the last day. Enjoying it here. Many thanks to all of you!
13 years. Deleted my account but forgot the stuff I had saved ☹️
9.5ish here
Over 10 years on the account, 1 or 2 extras of lurking before that.
I'm gone for the most part, I don't ever open Reddit just to scroll since I jumped to Lemmy, but I do still add "Reddit" at the end of my Google searches because search engines have become useless and that's still the best way I know to get somewhat unbiased replies on just about any topic.
Just checked, apparently my first account is actually a bit over 10 years old. I haven't fully cut ties with reddit yet, but I'm interested in Lemmy, and participating a little.
I intend to be an annoying cunt on reddit constantly saying "Lemmy is better" whenever that statement can actually pass as true to a general audience. And I fully intend to violate the fuck out of the "you can't make a new account when we ban you"-rule if I end up getting banned for it.
I made my first account in 2007. I ended up deleting it before long but I made another in 2009, which I deleted a couple of weeks ago (after manually deleting every comment and post I had ever made).
Officially, I had just reached the 14-year club.
I have been trying to make the switch to Lemmy but frankly the content on here is very low quality compared to Reddit for now...
Only 7 years for me, but long enough to hope they miss my traffic.
Lurked reddit since 2006 (a year after it was founded); joined in 2008.
Leaving wasn't easy. Quitting tobacco was less difficult. But fuck 'em. I'm done.
Hit my 10 years mark in June. Left at the end of that month when Bacon Reader app could no longer function. Not looking back. I was an active browser, commenter, and occasional poster. Never molded tho.
I started on Digg in the summer/fall of 2005 right around the launching point of Diggnation; maybe 5-10 episodes in. A friend got me introduced to that. I was there until September of 2010 and then made the move to reddit as a part of the Great Digg Migration, and now find myself here on the fediverse
I've never been a very active contributor, but still felt connected and enjoyed seeing the conversations and links that people were sharing
I’m old hat. I joined during the Digg vs Reddit wars of the early 2000s. Glad to see a new contender on the block.
Yep. Since 2011. Fucking bye.
12 years. Migrated to Reddit when Digg collapsed. Reddit slowly changed over the last 4 years or so, for the worse, even before the recent shenanigans. Glad to be here.
About 11 years, here. I only go back occasionally to look at some communities that haven't really moved here yet that are important to me, but other than that, I steer clear of Reddit and I prefer Lemmy now.
'ello there! I have my 11 year badge on my primary reddit account. I haven't bothered to go back to reddit, and I don't really have much desire. I'm splitting my time pretty evenly between Lemmy and Squabbles.
I also appreciate that neither of these communities have been completely co-opted by psycho alt-right nutjobs like Voat was.
edit: my biggest regret was that I was something like 12k comment karma away from making it to centuryclub :( that was kind of a big deal as a casual poster who usually showed up to threads way too late.
I torched all my content. In hindsight I should’ve left a way for people to contact me in case I’d posted a solution to a problem. But it’s too late now.
I pretty much left right after the digg redesign which turned the site into a tabloid. More than a decade ago.
17 years. I left when the two-day blackout began and I haven't been back.
The Fediverse suits me better anyway. I will be glad when some of my special interests fill in a bit more, but things are steadily improving.
Made my account in 2011. I'm not deleting, but I've completely stopped using it outside of the occasional google search that points to a Reddit thread. Lemmy is a legitimate and viable alternative to Reddit at this point, and apps like Wefwef are leagues better than the official reddit app
14 years here. Really optimistic for lemmy given how good the app story has become so fast. Hoping the user base keeps growing so that more niche communities hit a critical mass here.
12 years.
170k karma. Nuked my post history a month ago. I'll occasionally look at reddit on my work desktop but I'm absolutely not installing the app
I made it about 12 years or so on Reddit. There are days where I do miss the place, but Kbin and Tumblr have been quite adequate replacements, I find.
I also feel like both sites are much friendlier as a general rule.
9 years on my last account. About 13 or 14 years on my first one that was doxxing me
10 years and the day Apollo died my towel went with it
I sure hope places for NFL and NHL pick up cause so far the MLB game threads are a ghost town
It makes me sad but I was part of the digg fiasco and switched to reddit. I was hours... And hours a day and pretty active.
I haven't been back to reddit since it killed the Sync for Reddit app. 100% Lemmy now.
Yup, 11 or 12 on the account with this name, plus a few before that under a no longer extant account, and a few months without an account as a lurker before that.
My 12th Cake Day was last week, which is how I discovered I had the Reddit app still installed on a test device that was my daily-driver a few years ago
I'm Spartacus.
I deleted my account of 17 years
15 year account and happy with Lemmy here. Only going back to Reddit once in a while to make sure all my comments remain deleted.
I joined before Obama was president so that's checks calendar 15+ years.
I haven't full left Reddit. Just using it less as i feel my way around the different alternatives. Some groups forums exist, other go by other names...Just a question of finding them.
Yeah around 10 years here
Checking in.
God knows how long I'd been on Reddit. Easily 10+ and multiple accounts later.
12+ years here. Deleted all my content and account.
12 Years, fuck you u/Spez.
