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.

MODERATORS
 

Was just banned from Reddit because I dared to use Tor (which I am using rn) and comment something. Since my account was new the mod banned me, I have 1k other reddit accounts, so not knowing I was banned, I posted in the same community with other accounts, thus three accounts are permanently banned.

Now, I made a resolve to not go back to Reddit and instead use Forums and Lemmy. Now, how do you navigate lemmy? I mean, I know how, but are there any communities to help me navigate Lemmy, like an equivalent for reddit's r/findareddit and others which you have found to be interesting.

Ooh this one's new to me. I was just looking through my old sub lists while waiting for my GDPR data download from reddit and wondering if there was something like this. Thanks!

actually this is pretty useful, just not for the job I was looking for. But nvm, I use firefox and I found an alternative community for r/firefox, so thank you1

This would be great if we had some way to easily export those results into our subscriptions on our instance instead of going through one by one and joining.

Voyager has something similar. You paste a multi Reddit link from your reddit account and it will find alternatives on Lemmy.

[email protected] is mighty useful to be subscribed to. Also [email protected]

To start up, I also just browsed All and checked out communities that sounded interesting.

https://lemmyverse.net/ for targeted community search.

Browse and subscribe what you see interesting.

If you use the Voyager Lemmy app, it has the functionality to migrate Reddit subs to Lemmy communities. It'll do a search and give suggestions of what to follow. Not every sub from Reddit is on Lemmy, but a bunch of the more popular ones are.

that seems pretty useful!

I mostly just search by name for communities with the same names as the subreddits I used to follow, many of them exist here. There are community directories and communities for finding new communities but I'm not the one to help with that.

Have a look at the other comments, I think they might help you as much as they helped me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Awesome thanks

I am looking for an equivalent to Open Directories which list open caliber libraries.
