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.

You can check out the lemmit instance. A lot of instances have defederated from it (with good reason imo, because a bunch of lemmit communities are just links to reddit).
But some of the communities (that the lemmit bot creates from scraped subreddits) are just links to other sources. It doesn't scrape comments but just the content. So I subscribe to the "TIL" and "World News" communities from Lemmit, because it's just links for me to read.
Personally, I'm trying to move away from those as well, because I prefer to rely on the fediverse for the content I want. But it's been a good option for me to still get certain material, while never actually using reddit myself. Some of the communities only link to old.reddit, so I ignored those. But mainly for news is what I've used it for, and it's been good for weaning my last remaining ties to that sunken ship.
My next step will be reposting that same content to Lemmy communities myself. But I gotta handle up on some current (personal) life issues, before I can start contributing more to the content around here
