I hope lemmy servers are ready for another population boom.
Anyone that’s stuck with reddit this long probably thinks this sort of thing is a good idea.
Surprisingly, there are a lot of people who have still never heard of Lemmy on Reddit. I mentioned it in a post about this and got flooded with people asking me what Lemmy is and how to sign up.
I got banned yesterday and did not know what Lemmy was until I did a search for Reddit alternatives.
Welcome new guy. Hope you like beans!
This is true. I do a bit of shepherding myself, and many have never heard of Lemmy. Don’t give up on them!
anyone who engages in the news and political, and adjacent subs, are addicted, they wont leave.
Perhaps. I found those types of things the easiest to replace. Plenty of people on Lemmy talking about news / politics. You guys don’t have enough niche hobbies though. I do often miss my underwater basket weaving sub and having a reliable stream of cake fart porn.
They’ll get banned eventually for upvoting something on a gaming sub that mentions Luigi’s mansion. Then they’ll be confused for a while and move to the next app
“Shithole website continues circling toilet.”
The people running Reddit are so useless that they can’t ban things they don’t like fast enough, so they have to punish their userbase for their ineptitude.
Does that mean spez is getting banned for being a mod on r/jailbait?

Same shit happens here and you know if. Anyone with any user count is heavily moderating violence.
Thats some goddamn thought police shit.
Also tells you how goddamn awful the powers that be are, that the only way they can stop criticism of their badness is to ban anyone that even gives the lowest effort agreement with the criticism.
Reddit is a piece of shit.
🙋🏻♂️ +1 on having received a warning. I’m a simple man. I see Luigi, I upvote.
Day 1 on lemmy so am finding my way around still :)
Friendly reminder that almost all news media outlets and social media platforms are owned by a handful of extremely wealthy individuals and they are in full control of the algorithm that feeds you content, so you’ll likely never see anything that is critical of them or advocates for them to have less power or influence than they do.
This is the 2025 version of “The revolution won’t be televised”.
I remember Reddit. I used to like it there.
