Just deleted my Reddit account after 4 years due to being wrongly banned for ban evasion and having all my appeals either rejected or ignored. Hope Lemmy’s a better place
(I first posted this on my .ee account but I’m switching to .world now so I’m reposting this here)
Lemmy has less content than Reddit, but isn’t quieter. You will surely get more personal user engagement here.
Welcome to lemmy.
Welcome to Lemmy. We don’t have collectible avatars on blockchain. Sorry if you were into those. But you can make your own avatars if you want, which I think is even better!
Lemmy has avatars?
It has! At least on the web, if you view user profiles - but most of the time they’re pretty useless because in the comments they’re scaled down to text size. And the Lemmy clients don’t bother with them at all. Communities do have icons which are at least more widely used and supported.
Hey welcome! I switched over to Lemmy after 11+ years on Reddit. People actually talk to you here versus in Reddit!
To me, the Reddit experience feels like shouting into the void now. Very much like alone in a crowded room (of mostly bots). You can go back and check if your posts and comments there had been blocked from being seen by others. It’s staggering how many posts and comments are blocked over there. You can see how many posts and comments from normal Redditors are hidden here: Reveddit.
Post stuff when you feel ready too! Your posts are needed because it’s just humans here. There’s no algorithm and there aren’t any bots reposting reposts.
If you weren’t there, Lemmy feels like Reddit 10 years ago in a good way.
Welcome again, Morbitm! 😄
Hi, have fun. Don’t forget to use a coaster on the good table and don’t feed the trolls if you find any.
Welcome to the gang! I look forward to recognizing your name in conversation!
I didn’t get banned, deleted my Reddit account of 11+ years anyway. 14 years? It was long anyway. F— that place.
I got my Reddit ban award recently also. Not too sure what it was but I made a comment about Johnson having a punchable face.
Reddit is getting way to sensitive since selling on the stock market
I find there’s a lot of reddit here (good and bad), but the vinyl and CD communities are probably nicer (if less busy). The rest, well, vary :D
Hope Lemmy’s a better place
Yeah… Uh… About that…
Its pretty much the same as Reddit, but the difference is you can easily ban evade by making a trillion accounts on different instances. Mods and admins can still abuse their power but at least their abuse is public in the mod log.
