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.

Hi, I just found my way here recently from Reddit and being told that Lemmy may be better. I have been approved by the admin here very quickly and I'm just starting to figure things out.

The Reddit avatar I had was dressed in a koala costume from a year or two ago since I found koalas to be cute and was looking into any Subreddits on protecting koalas due to them being listed as endangered, and have decided to call it Konala Koala.

At the moment, I'm not sure if I'm going to see any Sublemmies on similar topics or not show up here, but I have included a picture of my Reddit avatar here to find out if there is some way of using it here.

Also, I had 16,400 Coins on Reddit that I'm about to lose as of the end of tomorrow since they appear to be doing away with that as well.

Welcome!

Lemmy will be different from Reddit, sometimes in good ways and sometimes in annoying ways (mainly because it's still being built, there are a lot of people working on the code and planning behind the scenes). Feel free to make more posts like this as you think of questions or have issues.


For the communities themselves, try searching here: https://lemmyverse.net/communities

I didn't see anything for Koalas, but you could try things like "nature", "animals", etc.

Which brings up the other point, make the community! Lemmy being new is both good and bad. There is not that much content to view, but any content that is created will be seen by a lot of people. Make a community and teach people about them, get people posting.

Here are a few others you might enjoy:


Also you can totally make that image (or another image) your profile photo here. Click your name in the top right to edit that stuff. I myself like sea otters :)

If you want some browser extensions / apps, here are lists:

Maybe a new community here will need to be created at some point on koalas when there is enough support for it.

And I gone ahead and used that image of my avatar from Reddit as my profile photo here and found a koala banner to use as well.

I will make a community for you! What should it be called? c/koalatime, c/savekoalas, or something else
