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, did Reddit lose a considerable amount of user base since then or not?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Are you counting the 14 of us that came over to Lemmy and stayed considerable?

There must be quite a few dozen of us!

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Roughly 3685 dozens

Edit: minus the dozen or two that were here prior

Not really. They're sort of succeeding. They just became profitable, I think, for the first period ever.

Got more users on Lemmy though, including me, so that's a win in my book.

[–] SuperSleuth@lemm.ee 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, Reddit is way more mainstream now than ever. My grandparents talk about it.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It's occasionally mentioned in movies, series and animation.

Ngl, i was expecting many more people to leave Reddit. The outrage was almost palpable. Big subreddits going private and all.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Most vocal users are a minority. Commenters already are what, 1% of users? 90-9-1

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Where are bots in that equation?

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

From a statistics standpoint, definitely not.

As of Q4 of 2023, reddit claimed 36.4 million logged-in 'daily active' users. An increase from Q3 of 2023 with a count of 34.7 million. Not sure of the accuracy of user counts for lemmy, but good estimate is about 450,000 total users over it's entire lifespan, if every single one of those was a reddit convert, we'd still be a minor blip. I don't know if we have 2024 numbers that are comparable, but most stats indicate that reddit is likely still growing.

Spez predicted what would happen in that protest with almost 100% accuracy and most mods involved didn't follow through and backed down. Some are trying to build something new and that's worth pursuing but we lost that fight.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 hours ago

I do have to wonder how many of those millions of users are bots. Browsing /r/all, you can find plenty of weird pseudopornographic subreddits like /r/ReallyGorgeous, which are populated by literally thousands of bots upvoting and commenting on fake selfies posted by the most obviously stolen accounts. Report these accounts all you want, the admins don't care.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Lemmy has 45.1 thousand logged-in daily active users.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Lol, I blacked out my sub and then never returned. Not sure what happened to it, but reddit is so god awful I don't even bother trying to check.

[–] Forester@yiffit.net 13 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Oh it's really simple. You will have been removed as a moderator for defacing Reddit content. Reddit will then ban you. Aunt reinstate their authority and make sure that their user base has full access to their content . Remember next time to not be a pesky little shit . How dare you try to block spaz and his followers from accessing content that you created but they own . /S Ask me how I know

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 10 points 9 hours ago

Depends on what you mean by that. A small fraction left but it was sizable enough for Lemmy to become my home.
