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.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I started a sub that had 400k users and was around for 10 years. /r/functionalprint

After I made it read only, admins they just up and gave it to some rando mod that had no experience in that sub at all.
So it doesn't surprise me the mods of a lot of subs have absolutely NO experience in the subs they are modding.

Screw Reddit.

There are a ton of dangerous 3D printing happening. Especially people doing shit that's pressurized.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago

That was my favorite sub, and I'm really sad it didn't take off on lemmy. I noticed it was back up on Reddit a few weeks ago and I thought about messaging you to ask if you put it back or reddit gave it to someone else. Fuck reddit.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I was a subscriber to your sub. I didn’t see it here on Lemmy as another poster mentioned. Is it still around here? I’ll join.

You can link it for everyone like this: [[email protected]](/c/[email protected])

Example clickable link this [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not a clickable link?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are you using an app or the web interface? It works on Lemmy, maybe it doesn't work on kbin?

Here is what it looks like on Lemmy: https://fry.gs/comment/116299

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I went to lemmy to see what it looks like. I can see the link.

Yeah, on Kbin (web interface), it's not link.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Test

!functionalprint

Yeah, typing in

[email protected]

just did the above. It's removed the @kbin.social part, but still not a link on Kbin, even when I create it.

EDIT: Interesting, so I used italics so it would show what I actually typed it, and it's a link on your lemmy, where when I typed it without italics, the @blahblahblah was removed by kbin

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just a quick note that there's no content on that link because that community hadn't federated to that instance before. Any new content will, but old content doesn't usually pull very far into the past.

You already linked the lemmy.world link above, which has federated content, another example would be lemm.ee

Typing in the link as I did above will create a link for each user that appears native to their instance, rather than sending them to lemmy.world, kbin.social or lemm.ee

EDIT: I'm not entirely sure how to get this to work right on kbin if the above method isn't working. If you have a suggestion or something different to try, would definitely love to make sure I'm linking in a way that works for the kbin users too!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Subbed... Thanks

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Subscribed!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you comment this often? I swear I've read this before.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It is a copy paste of the same reply I made to the post where 9to5mac.com talked about the same thing theverge.com did.

I noticed a few people comment they didn't know subs migrated/existed. So I replied here with the same thing, and sure enough other people again didn't know the sub migrated/existed.

People (including myself) are learning how this federating works. How the sub on kbin gets shown on other lemmy instances, and how those people in those instances can see/find the sub through their instance.

I'm still wrapping my head around some comments not showing up, and how subscriptions work.

And how the thumbnail picture and links work for some posts, and on some instances and doesn't for others.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Oh good. I'm not going crazy then :-)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, all of what you said resonates with me as well. Im having trouble understanding how to find content on other federated instances, the inability to edit comments, the lack of basic understanding and the doubt that lemmy can actually take off due to the learning curve required. If only people willing to learn end up here I guess that is positive though lol

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

loved that sub! Plans on bringing it back on the lemmyverse?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I loved that sub!!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

That was a good sub... Shame

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ooh shit that last part.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That was a great sub - you did something great there :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How the fuck do you pressurize a print? Do you just... Pressurize the enclosure? Surely not the hotend!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not during the print process.

Making a print and putting air-pressure to it.

Air fittings, paintball guns, actual guns, etc.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ahh yeah, I could see how that's a dumb idea

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Unless... you know how to do it. I've printed pressure stuff that held from 0 to over 20 bar, it's all in knowing your materials and slicer settings. Many people don't know how to make a print watertight in vase mode, so... 🤷

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey, so it was you who banned me from that sub without giving a reason? How the turns wheel... 😒

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I very rarely banned people, and there was always a reason.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago

Maybe some other mod then. I just checked the message log, no reason, no answer. Doesn't matter now anyway.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago

Why TF is The Verge reporting on an Ars article. I’ve already read the Ars article, so I thought this was further confirmation. Annoying…

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Imagine forcing the good mods that actually wanted to keep r*ddit from turning into a shit show to leave by getting rid of their 3rd party mod tools and expecting the replacements not to ruin everything.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are the first-party mod tools that bad? I wouldn't be surprised seeing how bogged down the redesigned Reddit website is

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

They don't exist

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

If the whole subreddit about saving 3rd party clients was to be believed, the first-party mod tools were pretty much useless, especially for those who are sight impaired. Though I can't say for sure since I was never a mod and my memory of that subreddit is a bit fuzzy.

Did it the other day. I love how redact.dev puts gibberish into your old posts.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I replaced it with fuck spez. Half the posts got flagged, and the other half will sit there for future answer seekers to find :)

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It doesn’t matter, they still have your data.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's called the California Consumer Privacy Act. They are legally obligated to delete your data.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Spoiler: they still don’t and to believe they do is silly.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Only if you can prove CA residency.

So Google a random address to have ready if it asks

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who cares, as long as it makes shareholders happy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

f u/sp... hey, wait a moment!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Not "may", ARE.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Good thing I don't use reddit.

Just like Reddits old mods put their communities at risk. Mods are the biggest problem with Reddit.
