Don’t care either way. I came because it really seemed like reddit was becoming a terrible place. The arbitrary banning and increasing warnings on restricting content made it time to go. I’m just grateful that lemmy is an alternative that (so far) seems to capture the spirit of original reddit, without all the increasing b.s.
I just hope that I become as comfortable with lemmy as I did with the reddit app. I hated switching from Comet to the reddit app. But, I got used to the reddit app, so I’m sure I will with lemmy. It’s nice to have 75% of reddit, but a nice 3rd party app to use again. I’m new and learning!
It’s a different vibe. It doesn’t come with all sunshine and rainbows but once you find a niche it’s easy to settle in.
It’s definitely really hard to replace my lighthearted subs, but I’ll take the actual sane discussion about news and fair moderation over that. Shit is too dire for me to get hung up on memes
I’ve been using Boost and it’s quite a bit like rif. I adored rif, the best interface for reddit on mobile. Boost is already way better than the official reddit app, that thing is terrible and full of bugs galore.
I got banned for apparently trying to circumnavigate a ban, despite not being banned, so I found something better
Sir, how dare you circumvent your ban. I silenced you, or someone like you, or just I don’t really know because I’m relying on incomplete data to determine who was banned and who you are. You’re ban stands and if you or anyone like you trys to circumvent it, I’ll have their heads!
Darn it… I hope I don’t get banned again, even though I’m permanently banned from reddit
If I wanted to be noticed, I’d go outside. The reason I liked reddit, more than any other social media, was because my identity was practically irrelevant. Only my posts mattered.
I left back in 2023; didn’t do anything besides purging my posts and comments and deleting my account. No sense doing anything spectacular, you’re just wasting your own time and causing more overall engagement on the platform. Though I suppose posting about the fediverse wouldn’t be the worst idea.
I got banned for daring to report violent content. Apparently reporting death threats is ‘targeted harassment’ of the moderators now
I’m still on both. Here for all of the political stuff and and anti-Reddit post and on Reddit I’m still in the subreddits that aren’t on here yet. Mainly a lot of crafting related stuff. And whenever someone complains about censorship on Reddit I respond with Lemmy as a suggestion. If I get banned I get banned. We’ll see.
I think someone runs a crosspost bot that can copy a subreddit to here. I don’t recall who though. Might be a good solution to the missing technical/niche subreddits on lemmy.
The lemmit.online instance exists, but it’s utility is limited without a two-way bridge for comments. It’s effectively just like a crowdsourced RSS feed.
I seem to be in the same category as you regarding a few groups that get no traction on Lemmy. Do you have any idea how they handled mentioning Lemmy in a comment? I would think it would be worse if you mentioned it in a post
So far the mods aren’t minding my comments yet. But I’m quieter about it than some people I’ve seen on here. No all caps, or bolder text. No links. Just a comment kind of like this explaining that Lemmy is a pretty cool place. Probably slips through the cracks easier ;)
I’m staying to be a fediverse evangelist. Someone’s got to upvote all of Blaze’s posts.
I didn’t do much, but I did tell the admins they’re useless pieces of human garbage and I can’t wait for that platform to go under. I was terminally addicted to reddit and was on it probably 8 hours a day. They’ll start noticing when a large chunk of their population drops off for other networks. I don’t really care if they know I left or not. I left because of my own reasons.
Banned spectacularly
