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.

This isn’t really telling us much.
For instance, if we compare FB and Reddit.
Facebook is a social media platform that doesn’t offer anything other than connecting people and groups, or for business pages and events. It’s not useful for external searches to take you there because it tries to force you to logon or get the app every time to view anything, and the search function absolutely sucks. I’d imagine most searches for “facebook” are people putting the term in google search to reach the platform or searching google to see if a person or business is on facebook. The search term is going to decline because most everyone that uses FB is already on it and FB is mostly pointless to search.
Reddit is a collection of subs , some of wich contain desirable information. It can be tech help, mechanical help, memes, history information, etc. So people absolutely search reddit + (thing they are hoping to find).
Iow, it’s a measure of usefulness via search, not popularity or user numbers. The more restrictive to search, the less people will look for it.
