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.

Like you, I tried a making a new account a few times over the past 5 years. (I wanted to do local things like giving away/selling things before moving. I ended up using NextDoor or asking friends & family to post on facebook instead)
Shadowbanned every time, so I could never build up enough karma to post or comment in subreddits with those restrictions. Wonderful catch-22 you got there reddit.
Finally I just gave up and added a filter to my uBlock Origin
reddit.com$documentto block my habits from checking it when I'm bored. I still visit a handful of subreddits once a day through old.reddit.com/r/..., but otherwise I'm fully here on lemmy for comments and posts. Which is for the best because of all the bot generated posts and comments there, along with the shills and astroturfing. I remind myself of that every time I feel like I'm missing the old place.I've accepted that at most I'll lurk in the niche communities there, and I'll do my part to build new ones here in the fediverse.
