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.

So I mean, most of us knew this beforehand and being on the fediverse we probably do not really care, but what was always on the horizon has no happened, the owner of Squabblr finally had enough having to be a decent person and has decided that his site is now "free speech purism", so he gets to continue to insult LGBTQ people like he always does.

Seems from the comments that some other admins disagreed with the decision (so there were some decent people on that site!) and either left or were removed.

Not entirely surprising the whole thing, granted.

(edit)
Also, apologies as this isn't truly reddit news but Squabblr was one of the sites frequently brought up in /r/redditalternatives so I figured this might still be relevant?

I don't think it's that complex though, I signed up my so and they wondered why everyone said it was so hard.

  • Go to Lemmy.world and make an account on your desktop or browser on your phone.
  • Go to liftoff on the playstore and attach it.
  • Look for communities in search that sound fun or look at Lemmy.world's communities.
  • The end.

Don't forget: try to sign up but that instance is having issues and you don't even get a notification to let you know whether your application is pending.

This. And then get a link to a post on another instance where it just takes you to the website where you don't have an account. It's not very clear how that should work. It's fine on phone apps but I've gotten stuck on the web a few times already.

Seriously though, how does it work? Is there a way to not have the "you must sign in" warning?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

It's still confusing, but if you look at this post where it says that this was posted to [email protected], the URL actually goes to https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected] (for me) so that's how you'd view that instance if you were on another one. Doesn't seem like there is a smart way for URL's in comments to work like that though.

Edit: Well look at that. A Bot replied with the fix.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
