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.

Unfortunately there's still a lot of good, helpful documentation on Reddit that I wish was somewhere else. Even if I deleted my account last year I still have to rely on some Reddit posts to find solutions to certain problems.

[–] School_Lunch@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Yep, unfortunately I still have to go to r/television on reddit to find good recommendations because the television community here is dead.

Every time you look for something on Reddit, make a post about your findings here. Don’t link the Reddit, copy/paste or make an original post. This is how communities get traction.

[–] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 42 points 3 months ago

Genius. I'll start doing that now every time I have to Google an obscure software issue that only reddit had the answer too.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Exactly!

I made a point to post here before trying a post there. Often what I've found is that while Reddit has a bigger userbase, the level of helpfulness is about the same. Reddit posts got more comments in total, but the number of helpful comments was about the same if not lower.

I'll have to start posting here when I look something up on Reddit as well

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Definitely. I'm chronically on here all the time so I will probably see your post and try to answer to the best of my abilities if I have something useful.

[–] sag@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

That's what I do

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah I do that from time to time. Go go my local geographical community and find the hottest posts and bring them here.

[–] School_Lunch@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Yeah. Mainly I go for the "what are you watching this week" stickied post to get an idea of what new shows might be worth trying.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

@jet@hackertalks.com an Idea fore the upcoming television community

[–] Glasgow@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Get Stremio and browse by popular. Can also install a plugin for Trakt

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Love this idea

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

I actually have posted here and have gotten amazing recommendations. When I was on reddit a year or two ago, that post got no comments and probably downvotes for some reason. Love the Lemmy community!

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

rtings.com is a great resource that’s not astroturfed to hell and back like Reddit is.

Edit: oh oops you mean shows not flat panels lol

[–] Tregetour@lemdro.id -2 points 2 months ago

So reproduce it.

[–] SyntaxTerror -5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is only half serious, but reddit is usually part of LLM training Sets, so you could try your luck with ChatGPT et al.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah... I don't want to die eating something poison because some Reddit trained AI told me it was fine to eat.

Thankfully that's not the kind of information I look for so chances of that happening are slim.

[–] capital@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Unless you’re the type to microwave your phone to charge it on 4chan’s recommendation, I think you’re probably fine.
