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.

MODERATORS
16 years for me. They took away the app I preferred (joey) so I went somewhere else.
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 at least 10 years. Not going back.
14years
I forget what year it happened in but I started reddit with the Digg migration.
15 year club here. Deleted and never looked back.
I spent 5 years on Reddit, a made a lemmy account after the API changes
I saw the writing on the wall,
Over 10. I left for Voat, then it died, then I didn't come back for a long time. Started enjoying it again and now I'm done.
I'm 10 years, I haven't left Reddit completely but I've definitely started using it significantly less
I'm one. First found Reddit around 2011 iirc and yeah, the changes of the past 5-7 years took much of what brought me there in the first place away. The most recent API changes, killing the app that made me a daily user in the first place were just the cherry on top and what really crosses the line for me. Censor it all you want, hated that but what site isn't censored to the brim nowadays? But take away my favorite apps and basically extort the developer? Nah.
My longest running account will be 10 years old in December.
I think I had 10 years on reddit. I stopped goin after the API stuff. But I am still googling old reddit threads for tech support inquiries.
I joined Digg v3 back in the day and reddit along with it. When Digg changed their website I pretty much went all in on reddit.
Now here we are.
8 for me
15 years and almost went to a stop going there (I setup a RSS feed for 3 subs, but I actually manually check them twice a week to make sure I'm not missing on important news)
The fediverse as a whole is getting more and more interesting this year. Sure, it's still lacking in amount of content, but it brings me "good enough" content to avoid feeling like I'm missing something.
Close to ten, but I didnt leave, I got permabanned, I still dont know why
I had a 13 and a half year old account and I haven't logged in since the blackout.
2013-2023.
I've deleted multiple accounts over the years trying to leave Reddit. All my accounts are now gone and I only visit of an Internet search brings me to the site.
Yo.
Me.
Been using it for about 12 years. I deleted all my comments, but haven't closed my account (due to work reasons - I'm in a Comms position, and keeping tabs on all SM is pretty important). However, no new comments, up/down votes, shares, nothing of the like.
My primary access was through Boost (Android), and I don't visit it much except for finding weird tech-support items, reviews/comparisons, and a few other unique pieces of content that will eventually migrate elsewhere.
Edit: I've also stopped scrolling and consuming personal content as much, now that I don't use reddit regularly.
10 years here and started with BaconReader. I had a long, 5-ish year hiatus for no particular reason from Reddit and started using it again in 2019 on the official app.
I just logged back into Reddit via RedReader to find communities to join here on Lemmy via Liftoff. I'm hoping more Redditors have enough of the BS and migrate here!
Around 11 years here, still using Reddit but slowly making the transition to Lemmy. Has been a great experience so far, I hope more people migrate so we can have more active communities.
14y 6mo. I only logged in just now for the first time in 4 weeks to actually check how long I was a member.
I left Digg and headed over to Reddit for similar reasons.
I sense a pattern...
I've left other than checking the few communities that don't exist anywhere else (mostly gaming and a few other niche interests). I haven't logged in since the protest started.
11 years. Very active commenter.
I've got high hopes for this place and the fedi-verse in general! I think the decentralized nature has so much potential.
