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.

Mine was 12 coming up on 13. Haven't gone back since RIF stopped working.
Don't think quite a decade, but definitely the better half of one.
14 years for me.
12+ years user, I nuked all my accounts when the 3rd party apps died. I still follow a few subs that have no replacement yet.
Those events right before summer reddit ensure its a smoldering pile of rotting compost.
11 years last year I checked, quit digg for reddit, quit reddit for lemmy, still lots to learn here. It's good to be here.
Yeah, it’s been about that long.
Yo. And the more time that passes, the less I miss it.
12 year old Reddit account here. Though, for every end there is a new beginning. Looking forward to seeing how Lemmy continues to grow. 🙂
15 Year club... sad to leave. But even sadder to see what has become. Don't plan on deleting my account but I won't renew my premium when it comes back up.
11 year refugee here.
I don't browse Reddit at all anymore. Overwrote all my comments then deleted my accounts. I only go if a search lands me there for something specific as a guest in a private tab.
14 years here. Really optimistic for lemmy given how good the app story has become so fast. Hoping the user base keeps growing so that more niche communities hit a critical mass here.
My 12th Cake Day was last week, which is how I discovered I had the Reddit app still installed on a test device that was my daily-driver a few years ago
Who can say, but I have largely left the site.
I think I had 9, but a year or two of lurking prior.
Almost 11 years with this username, a few years before that with another account that was linked to IRL stuff so decided to dedoxify myself.
I'm glad tbh - Reddit's been tailspinning as an experience since 2016 at least, it's just become much more aggressive about hating it's userbase and free labour recently.
Around 8 years here. I really hate ads, so i just leave this shitty network.
About 15 years here. Just couldn’t help it grow any bigger after what it became
12 years here
13 years here. Not going back!
Said it elsewhere sometime yesterday-- bout 13 years.
12 years here sounding off
10 years for me!
I've all but stopped using Reddit. I was extremely active for well over a decade.
11 years
Would have been 12 years this month, I haven’t deleted my account yet but I haven’t been back since end of June. While I do miss some of my old communities, I loved Apollo and Alien Blue before that and won’t go back. I posted pretty frequently and most always from mobile. I’m working on deleting the old account here soon.
Just logged in at Reddit to confirm--12 years.
And my whole homepage there is filled with posts about sex. I don't log in there for weeks and it's gone way down hill.
13 years, here
7 years here. Glad I left reddit for lemmy. I will never sign up for a centralized social media platform again, I've learned my lesson.
Fuck u/spez.
Well over 10 years. About 4 years ago found myself missing the "old" Reddit experience, lighthearted, tons of memes, silly, and interesting. Feels more like that on Lemmy.
8 years here, 90% left
11 years. I want to view controversial content and I'm not feeling too optomistic about lemmy world either.
8 years for me. Cut my usage down by around 95% I'd say. Only when I need something specific do I go back
Honestly I don't mind as much as I thought I'd do
I joined 2012. It's a weird feeling leaving it after so long.
Almost to 10. 9yrs 6 months before I left.
13 years user, and lemmy reminds me of year 1
I'm one of 'em. Killing Sync (and every other awesome 3rd party client) was the straw that broke this camel's back.
I deleted my alt with 45k comment karma that was I think 14 years, my oldest account is a version of my actual name that I don’t want someone taking that is 16 years old, that I didn’t delete, but I did nuke all my comments.
12 years of heavy activity here, I nuked my account 6 weeks or so ago.
10+ years. Deleted my account, posts and comments. It was long and slow decision. It's just not the same reddit I feel in love with. Carma whoring, vanity, both far right and far left junk, bots (hate bots), the terrible UI... Finally, when I could no longer use RIF, that was it. I actually worked on a reddit API based app a few years ago and this really pissed me off on that level too.
