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:

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
Can't remember when I first started, but I paid for RIF Platinum in May 2014. It's been steadily declining for years, and the new API changes were the final nail in the coffin for me.
12 years!
Joined in January, 2013 so just over 10 years. Ialmost exclusively lurked though.
11 years. Gun was already aimed as his foot, but the Spez went and pulled the trigger. Happy to be off reddit now.
👋
I joined back in 2012 because I found more information looking up stuff there than I did on Google. I was one of those poor people who would go on reddit on the computer then go on the app and then go back to my computer. When I caught wind of what was going on with the third party and how it broke my favourite app Bacon Reader, I only went back just to see how many more John Oliver pictures were posted on r/pics and if there was any additional posting on and about pitties.
My first account is a little over 12 years old. I catch myself opening up reddit everyone once and a while but have basically completely left at this point. Hadn't been happy with what it's become for years and the most recent shit storm just seemed like a good time to call it quits. 7ish years ago I used to spend a ton of time on the investing subreddits, such as the now notorious and huge wallstreetbets.
The communities I enjoyed have all been overrun and ruined. Reddit became a victim of its own size long ago. Everything is just lowest common dominator crap now. The investing subreddits like wallstreetbets are the most obvious to me. They're just large scale pump and dumps for crypto and meme stocks now. It's ridiculous.
11+ years here. Deleted and haven't looked back. I miss my crafting and witchy communities but I don't regret leaving.
My Cake day is April 17, 2013.
I was maybe the most active for about the last ½-1 year before this August or something. Maybe 75-90% of my activity was lurking, viewing people's discussions.
I didn't notice negative events regarding Reddit before the API war in the summer. The subreddits I were at were nice places. I guess different communities/subreddits have conversations depending on the topic and how strick or active or casual or entertainment-only the community is about...so it's kinda obvious to me that some places have more decent talk and some of them get karma more easier with smaller effort and stuff...
I'm sad about the API stuff. I lost contact to Relay before they talked about the need of subscription, so they can handle the costs. I'm fine with that, on Relay's side - not angry about that. But my activity in Reddit took a plunge after I deleted Relay from my Android. Nowadays I go to Reddit only to read if there's info I need (problems with software etc) not found as easily some place else, but I don't create new stuff anymore.
12 years I think for my imekon account on reddit.
11 years haven't been back since boost died
All in all nearly 10 year though my last account is 7+ years old and this was the time I actually used the site and didn't just lurk. My last account isn't deleted, I just don't use it anymore. Lemmy at first seemed more complicated, but I stayed for the communication culture and the fediverse concept . I'd love to see lemmy grow to a reddit successor but I doubt it will get this big. Then again I wonder if this isn't for the positive. Also it is really refreshing not to be suffocated under rage- and clickbait by some malicious algorithm.
I was close, 9 years.
13 years. At least 1 purely as a lurker before that. Reddit has been in my life longer than my dad 🤣
10 years on the spot.
Yo
Me, got on reddit in 2008 or 9.
I changed accounts often but I was using the site from around 2010/11
Just over a decade on reddit. Still miss how it was. Hopeful for lemmy and fediverse future
Me
14 years. Reddit has been shit for a while tho.
12 years. Wiped my account and deleted it. Even the porn alt
13
+1 here.
I used the official Reddit app for some time before switching between Apollo and Joey (depending on whether I had an iPhone at the time or an Android).
12 years and I am not missing it.
I am one. I had six Reddit accounts, a couple were throwaways. I started at Slashdot then Digg then Reddit. I’ve since deleted all my most popular posts (that caused PMs on the regular) then deleted the accounts afterwards.
I still view content on there but with no account using AdGuard and Sink It (removes Reddits BS “download app” prompts). I also browse incognito to not leave behind tracking cookies.
I’ve made sure I’m worthless traffic to them for the content that Lemmy doesn’t have.
11 years+ here. Left almost a month ago.
Can't be bothered the check but close to 10 years, fuck that site!
15 years here
Not sure how long I was there, but well over ten years. Deleted my account and am done.
I've been on Reddit for 10+, but I haven't actually left yet, this isn't quite a full replacement for me.
My 10 year anniversary was July 12.
Not quite 10 years, only 8, but I left the moment rif was shut down. Fuck spez
10 years, haven't used it at all since Sync stopped working. I'm enjoying Lemmy, not very many niche communities but I'm sure that will catch up
I got all my accounts banned last year and I've been watching the decline ever since.
13 years... Kind of glad to be done with it but I miss some of the niche communities.
11 years here. Made the jump shortly after the protests died down and Huffman made it clear that he didn't care who the changes impacted.
