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.

9 years on reddit. I didn't post a lot of content or comments but I read a lot. As soon as they killed 3rd party apps, I left. And switched to lemmy. I like it here. I think I already posted more comments here, than on reddit. I don't miss reddit at all.
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.
Almost 18 years for me, I left Digg for Reddit over the HD DVD thing. It was really hard to leave.
Who can say, but I have largely left the site.
11 years. Had to use an extension to manually block Reddit to stop myself from automatically going to Reddit for the first two months.
Pretty sure I was at 11 years. Not going back to check
Around 8 years here. I really hate ads, so i just leave this shitty network.
What's got 2 thumbs and is this guy?
THIS GUY!
My account had just turned 11 years old when all of this started. After RIF didn't let me log in any more I just quit reddint entkrelt. The RIF app itself is still installed in my phone though, as a memento. Even if reddit were to turn back on its decision, I don't think I'd want to go back at this point. Reddit is as good as dead for me.

My account turns 11 on August 11th... lurking 2-3 years prior. As soon as the news was dropped about API changes I came over here and switched between the two. Stopped using reddit overall once my app wasn't supported. I miss my small communities and the news from my city but I can't continue to support it
I was there for about 15 years, shortly after launch, when there were only a handful of predefined subreddits. I would say "good times" but there was also shit like jailbait as a default sub...
14 years for me.
Close to 5-6 or so years if I count my banned account years.
Still on both fences but I will try to transition once sync for lemmy is ready.
12 or 13 years? Don't really remember or care!
Yep, part of the 11-year club as well. I stopped browsing on mobile when Apollo died. I still browse on old.reddit in a browser, but I've found about 60%-70% of the content on here that I was looking for over there. So, not too shabby.
16 years for me. They took away the app I preferred (joey) so I went somewhere else.
12 years here. Few thousand karma. Fuck the corporate shit.
14 year account
Welcome here!
Joined in 2009. Pretty much never browse Reddit anymore other than specific scenarios.
9 years on my last account. About 13 or 14 years on my first one that was doxxing me
Reporting for duty, sir!
There are 14,000 of us in this community. How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?
It's me. I'm in this picture
Me. Not quite 10 years, but close at 9 and some months.
I was there for nearly fifteen years. Been looking for an excuse to dump Reddit for a couple years now, ever since lockdown when I got in the habit of checking Reddit a dozen times a day.
I was there for at least 10 years. Not going back.
14years
16+ years. No intentions of going back. The Fediverse is cool, and I’m enjoying it.
I forget what year it happened in but I started reddit with the Digg migration.
I spent 5 years on Reddit, a made a lemmy account after the API changes
I saw the writing on the wall,
14 years and change. Haven't been back since blackout day.
15 year club here. Deleted and never looked back.
11 years over here!
