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.

Welcome. I think you will like it here. We're kind of like reddit except we aren't trying to make money from you, or your content. And we are more likely to follow the golden rule. And swear. Lots of swearing.
and we don't limit or kill 3rd party app support, but rather support them, and even have a page about apps for lemmy which are, 3rd party
This is my first post, on my first day here, and it feels pretty good.
It’s kind of a rush picking a username knowing most are still available.
UltraGiGaGigantic2 is still available
I know! I hadn't even thought of that until I saw someone's was like "mee" and now I need to get another account. It's like how people get caught off guard when I tell them my 20 year old email is just my name with no numbers or special characters.
Haha it’s great because there’s always another instance where your username will be available.
Or you can choose to be something different on each instance.
I just came over from Reddit too. It took me a day to settle in and understand how federation worked but now it makes total sense to me.
Start posting stuff with us welcome welcome everyone :)

Here, have some beans.
We don't do pay-a-social-media-ceo-to-win around here, we do beans. Practical, eatable, 100% all natural digital beans.
Some other users may be able to gift you a proper lemmy kilmister commerative gold token, but I don't have the jpg.
EDIT: oh right, a possibly useful warning:
About a month or two ago, lemmy seems to have attracted its first mass spam bot, dming thousands of users with basically a phising email.
If you get a message from 'Fediverse Chick', that's not her, someone stole her image, just block the user.

Welcome everyone!
Dont stress about which instance you join. Took me 3 tries before I found the one I like, but I was able to see most of the stuff from each one.
What made you decide on a tankie instance?
Happy to be here. Leaving reddit for this place was a great decision. 💪

How come theres been an influx of users recently? Did reddit shit the bed again?
Yes they started banning thousands of active users for “inciting violence” if you say things like “fuck Elon musk” or “my favorite character in super Mario bros is Luigi”

say luigi and get warned
what did luigi do to you, reddit?
Reddit recently started doubling down on far-right actions. Like making it so you can be banned for just upvoting a post that breaks the rules, or banning you for saying the name "Luigi."
Personally, I recently got permabanned for being truthful about fascists.
I got a warning today about upvoting violence. The only thing I have upvoted in the last little while is pro-Canada stuff like elbows up. If that gets me kicked off Reddit then fuck them and fuck spez the little pig boy.
I was just assuming it was all the censorship because any post with Luigi automatically gets deleted for violence even in the Nintendo subreddits talking about Luigi's Mansion
For me I left Reddit recently and switched because Reddit made a change that broke the Boost app.

Every time I end up on Reddit the amount of ads makes me recoil. You’re free now!

Back with the API fiasco is when I stopped using Reddit because there's no way I'm using the official app with the amount of ads there are
Hi diddly ho neighborino
Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
Welcome to the fediverse everyone
It's like our own Reddit but with blackjack and hookers
and without fascist rules like banned keywords nazi Luigi etc, fuck reddit
Be mindful of the smug "Lemmy Culture" hipsters, they'll eventually weed themselves out or self segregate though as more normies flow in.
I welcome the masses.
glad to be here!
Happy to be here! I love finding alternative platforms to the big ones, I'm a forum nerd and soon I'm thinking about moving one from phpBB 3 to either Discourse or Node.bb and having it join ActivityPub. I hope more people will join lemmy soon!

Dozens of dozens of dozens of dozens of dozens... 112,744 to be inexact...
Lemmy Total Users by Day: 1,352,936 for 3/12/25.
Divided by 12, that's 112,744 and some change... probably a couple of baker's dozens in there....
Looks like ~53k monthly active users, I think that's a better stat, since it doesn't include people making new alts and abandoning their old accounts.
Then that's 4,416 dozen, give or take a baker.
But all in all, I'd say that lemmings are much more active than Redditors - just based on responses to my posts and comments. I've earned 15k karma on this account, far more than any of my vastly older reddit accounts. Take that for what you will, but I've personally found the community here much more active, especially as of late.
Content quality is drastically better too.
