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.

So yesterday I received a 7-day ban for 'encouraging violence', for saying that Luigi Mangione did not deserve to go to jail. It was obviously bullshit, somebody got a little hair-trigger on the new directive from ~~Der Fuhrer~~ spez or something, so I appealed. That appeal was reviewed and the temp ban lifted and the 'offending' comment restored, but 11 hours prior to that I got another message that I had been perma-banned for violating Reddit's rules with my 'other account(s)'. Well that's also bullshit because I've had exactly one (1) account in the 14 years I've been on reddit, so I appealed that too, and thus we get to the cherry on top: I am no longer banned, I can post and such again, but they sent me the above message saying that my appeal had been denied and that the perma-ban was staying in place. But rather than linger in reddit limbo, I think I'm gonna switch permanently to lemmy. 14 years worth of curating subs will suck to redo, but oh well, life is change.

I’m here because r/pics bots are assholes and mods don’t reply to asking why they banned you, the auto ban says I was banned because at some point in my many years I commented on a subreddit they didn’t like. I carried on just fine, but when I was browsing one day with a different account I commented on another r/pics post and now both accounts are banned for 7 days for ban evasion. The bots still never told me what to do about it to fix it and they denied my appeal, so fuck em.

Deleted that app, and all my other social media apps, Facebook, instagram, x, Reddit, threads, etc. im tired of arguing with all the bots. But I need something to still be able to scroll, so here I am.

The adjustment can be a little awkward at first but there's plenty to do on Lemmy if you take some time to learn how things work and how to get the most out of it.

If you're the type of person that enjoys posting and guiding topics there's no shortage of people hungry for content on Lemmy. There are lots of active communities but even more that are still trying to get off the ground or need someone interested to adopt them.

Whatever your interests, https://lemmyverse.net/ is a great way to find communities for the topics you care about if you aren't finding them on lemmy.world.

I hope your time here is more enjoyable than where you're coming from.

Thanks! Honestly it's been less of an adjustment than I expected. Took a couple hours to read about it and figure out how it works, picked a server, and jumped right in. The big thing is that I'm losing that whole curated sub list that I'm going to have to replicate, but I'm sure it'll take care of itself.

If you happen to use or try the Voyager app they have a migration tool that is supposed to work well.

I got permabanned during the women's March for cheering on the March posters and such. I started and admined the /keitruck sub reddit. I also had some other subreddits that weren't as big. Keitruck is pretty small though. All that work for nothing. So I didn't fight the ban, just moved here. Good move! Now I only go to reddit from accidentally clicking on web searches. Who knows WTF is going on.

bring your subs, bring your friends!

Welcome to the Lemmy BDSM convention!

I switched to Lemmy after r/news banned me for obvious hyperbole. Reddit used to be a place where dark humor in the face of absurd events was allowed. I'm not even sure if Lemmy is any better, but I've had all of the humor and interest in life beat out of me now, so I guess I'll be okay.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Yeeaaaah, I miss the dark humor, people here are sometimes a bit too literal. To be fair, they have their reasons, from being neurodivergent to being from cultures that just don't do dark humor. Our All feed really is everyone.

I think there is a very simple solution to all your problems with reddit...

Did you also get troll reported to that automated help response for people that may be contemplating self harm?

That was always a good time. Man, I miss Reddit so much...

When Reddit bans or even just temporarily suspends me, I just create a new account right away and jump back in.

  1. I only use Reddit in a Brave private window. If I want to use Reddit on my phone I just use RedReader and never bother logging in. I don't really feel the need to post when I'm mobile anyway.

  2. Once I'm banned/suspended I open a Firefox window and create a new Outlook account.

  3. Open a new Brave private window and create a new Reddit account with the new email. Log in. But hey, all your subreddits aren't there from your old account and man, it's going to be annoying to re-add all those subs, right? Nah. There's a browser script for that.

  4. In your old Reddit account go to old.reddit.com/subreddits or whatever button you click on in Reddit that shows a list of all your subreddits. At the top of your list of subs is a link titled "multireddit of your subscriptions". Right click on that link and copy it.

  5. Now go to your new Reddit account and paste that link in the URL field and hit enter and you'll have a list of all your subs from your old account with the join button next to all of them. You could go down the list clicking join on all of them. I have hundreds, so screw that. I use the script. I won't paste my script, just go to Google and search for "Reddit sub auto-add script Github". There's a few different ones you can try. Essentially, in the window with your new account and all the subs with the join buttons, you are hitting F12 to open the developer console, clicking on the "Console" tab, and then pasting the script and hitting "Enter" to run it. The script is essentially just searching the page for all the "Join" buttons and auto-clicking them.

NOTE: If the script is clicking those join buttons too fast, or if you've decided to manually go down the page clicking the join buttons and you're doing it too fast, Reddit detects that and will block you from Reddit for like 10-15 minutes before you can continue. In any of these scripts you'll see a number, usually 500. That's the milliseconds the script waits before clicking on the next join button. 500 used to work. Now you'll want to change that to like 3000 or 5000 to increase the wait time. 5000 has been working for me.

That's it though. You can just leave that window with the script open and it'll go down your list of subs auto-joining them. Before I found that script it was REALLY annoying manually clicking on hundreds of join buttons. Now, steps 1-4 take me less than 5 minutes and then step 5 is automated so I just go do something else. My new accounts aren't shadowbanned and I'm back on their shitty site nice and quick. Because honestly, I wouldn't still bother with their site at all if I had to wait for my suspension to end or had to manually rejoin all my subs every time.

Real pro tip, delete that shitty app and use something more feasible.

They’re finniky bastards.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Welcome to Lemmy! If you find it's not quite you your liking, there is also Mbin which is sort of similar but has some significant differences too.

Personally, I like them both and they're both federated.

If you wanted to check it out, https://fedia.io is the more popular instance.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Should something like this ever happen to me, I'll be happy to leave Reddit behind. Right now I'm still looking to promote Lemmy.
