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.

Just over a decade on reddit. Still miss how it was. Hopeful for lemmy and fediverse future
Long time Usenet user, started Reddit in Feb 2013. There were a few scandals and growing pains, but it always felt like a (somewhat rowdy) community. As a user-centric volunteer generated forum I never imagined it would succumb to corporate greed, but here we are. Or, there we were. Lemmy feels like a breath of fresh air.
I was a bit over 12 if I remember right.
I don't miss it at all.
Just checked: oldest account i still have is 16 years old.
Digg refugee, I've had a couple 10+ year accts until the doxxing. Then I started flipping accts on the regular to prevent that. Modded a few subs until the admin IP banned me for being critical of the direction they are going.
So now I'm here and to be frank a lot happier.
Well, I don't qualify, I just have just 9+ years...
13 years. I'm done with the platform but not just because of their API bullshit.
My worldview and beliefs increasingly seem to fall just slightly outside what Reddit mods and admin find to be acceptable opinion.
I think I'm a pretty logical and reasonable human being, but apparently my beliefs about the way of the world are enough to get me continuously banned from the platform. Genuine 13 year account, then several newer ones. In the end I have just come to terms that Reddit isn't for me. They don't want me there and that's fine.
I deleted an 11 year old account.
I deleted my account but I think I was around 12 years
Ten-year club trophy. Logged out of Reddit as the public spat with Apollo was in full swing. Only visiting if a search leads me there.
Just made 10 years. Gatdamm I have 184,742 karma over there. I didn’t realize lol
BE My account was I believe 11 years old when I deleted it right after all of the Apollo stuff went down. I used the app on my macs and mobile devices.
12 year Redditor here. Nevermore...
Here
9y7m with 200k+ karma. I had used Reddit to look at porn for few years before that but finally made an account to ask some tech support question...
I got perma banned not quite a month ago, it was a pretty shitting thing I did so probably deserved it. Definitely helped me in jumping ship.
I have the 5 year trophy. Not nearly as many years as 10, but still something. I also left Reddit.
I had various accounts over the years, but switched from Digg, which must've been pre-2010.
It's sad, but most communities felt crowded with people jumping down other people's throats, so I don't miss many
Here
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.
12 years on Reddit. Found it after digg messed with their site design causing a mass exodus. Now it’s happening again! Weee!
Yeah I hauled ass this year. Logged out and will not go back. It went from decent for years to cumbersome garbage real quick.
Hi
13 years. At least 1 purely as a lurker before that. Reddit has been in my life longer than my dad 🤣
12-year club here. I still visit one sub-reddit because it doesn't exist here, but I don't interact. That's about it.
you could create it
10 years on the spot.
13 years... Kind of glad to be done with it but I miss some of the niche communities.
Here, but I still use Reddit for (the unfortunately many) communities that haven't migrated to Lemmy
Over 10 here for me. I came with the great Digg migration.
13 years for me. Deleted my account July 1.
11 years for me
Hola! 1 10 year account, 3 accounts at 3+ years.
8 years, deleted July 1. I kept a "throwaway" account to lurk when needed. Oh, the irony.
13-15 years old so. Went there during the Digg migration.
11 and I don't miss it anymore
I was there 11 years and only used the Reddit is Fun app. Kind of surprised how easily I was able to just cut it out of my life.
My reddit account is 14 years old. I can't say how I found Reddit but I know I was there before the Digg migration.
12 years on my account if I remember right. The account still exists, but I'm not logged in anymore - if I need to open reddit as part of a search result, it gets opened in a disposable container tab.
8 years, fully done with reddit now.
10 years for me, just had enough
My reddit account is a little shy of 10 years, I think I might be at 8 or 9. I haven't really commented on Reddit for a while. I won't delete my account completely, at least not yet. There's some more subs on Reddit that haven't moved to Lemmy/KBin yet, and of course I could be the one to bring them over and create a copycat, but that's a bit of responsibility and work. I am kind of surprised how populated Lemmy is already though.
