I have created different emails and using different ip address form different networks. The moment I use the account on my current ip, I get banned
Got banned from Reddit. Enjoying Lenny so far but there’s some subreddits that don’t have enough traffic so I still go back to peruse. Anyone got advice to get around the reddit ban?
communists aren’t allowed on reddit, but communists built lemmy
seemed natural
Quick notes for those who only know of Lemmy after the reddit API fiasco: from what I understand, reddit’s banning of /r/chapotraphouse in mid-2020 is how Hexbear came to be (biggest instance prior to API drama, albeit unfederated at the time due to major software divergence) and the banning of /r/genzedong, /r/genzhao and /r/genzhukov in March 2022 brought a large exodus of users onto lemmygrad.ml, making it the most popular federated instance until the reddit API changes.
I tried Reddit but I had enough with all the rules and corporate cleanliness of it. I used this site called ‘Saidit’ for a bit but but no one ever posted there so I looked into Reddit alternatives and stumbled across Lemmy. The rest is history
apology for poor english
when were you when Reddit dies?
i was sat at home eating smegma butter when pjotr ring
“Reddit is kill”
“no”
I left Twitter and Reddit and I found Lemmy and Mastadon. Lemmy is going much better than Mastadon.
less bootlicker trans community here than on reddit
Because spez was being a dip shit. Other than that, yeah, idklol
Arrived because r*ddit banned Infinity, stayed because I’m a Communist tankie.
I always preferred and liked FOSS stuff anyway but somehow never heard of Lemmy/Graad/Hexbear until the API fiasco. I guess I always avoided the Chapo sub because I never listened to the show and I generally dislike those shows and personalities. I’m an older Commie, I didn’t get radicalized by Bernie or podcasts or steamers or whatever so I kept my distance. Seems like I missed out though. Glad to be here now.
Spite
For BSD and Unix community
Because reddit shut down my favorite app.
I’m still using BaconReader thanks to reVanved.
Say what? Bacon reader still works?!
I’m using Sync for lemmy and another Sync for reddit thanks to ReVanced.
The reddit community has been reduced to a mob of slobbering children and bots though, so I’m not on there nearly as much. I also avoid contributing because I want to see it slowly die out. Sadly it is still the only source for some information.

I used to do this, effectively it confused my brain of which platform I was at at the moment lol.
Anyway not anymore since Sync for Lemmy is so busted to me in my instance (not even showing upvotes for example) and the dev has been absent for so long that I am already using another app (my personal favorites are Summit, Voyager and Boost).
Grew up on enthusiast BBS, Lemmy is like a bunch of them are linked up.
Dislike for profit internet as it must inevitably lead to enshitification, just never had a term for that in the past :)
I don’t have an issue with “toxicity” as i just ignore it, like a dog shit on the side walk. I prefer the “BBS/Usenet format” to Twitter like Mastodon though I am over on Masto and had been there for many years. I don’t participate much though.
I was here before the Reddit API kerfuffle, because I care about an open and decentralized internet.
Found the hipster
Same! I was hoping for a while that there would be a fediverse version of reddit. And it’s succeeded beyond my wildest hopes. Other than the misinformation, but I suppose that’s a problem everywhere.
just lemmy or the federation? im on mbin and I left with the big reddit migration and was pleasantly surprised to find something a bit closer to the old internet I knew. Im one of the few who don’t see the need for it to get popular but its fine to me if it does.
Mbin is better for some reason
