Welcome Redditors from the thread earlier today!

Just got a nearly 10 year old Reddit account permabanned because someone I share my computer with commented on a sub that banned me.

The admins didn't even have a look at my first appeal, sending an automatic message instead and won't have a look at any further appeal, so here I am.

I got sitewide banhammered from Reddit for my absent-minded use of the report button instead of using modmail

Even though I was polite in the message Reddit claimed it was mod harassment

It's been over a week and they still haven't responded to my appeal

It won't let me submit another appeal because it says I've already submitted one

I've been on reddit for over 10 years, seems like an odd way to end it.

I'll have to admit though, Lemmy is pretty sweet. I even got Sync back!

I left Reddit during APIGate and I tried lemme and it was full of racist nastiness so I closed my account and recently also left all meta apps and drasticallyreduced tiktok, and thought I might come check out how things are going and it's nice and cozy here now, think I will stay. Been off of x for the better part of 3 years.

Just got here from Reddit. Haven't officially left it, but the concept of the fediverse intrigued me and wanted to check it out

Did something new happen on reddit?

THATS ME!!!!!

Finally took the plunge out of curiosity and a desire to dump reddit at some point.

If anyone's wondering what you should do first, the first thing you should do is block hexbear, and the next thing you should do is join any instance other than lemmy.ml. lemmy.world is a good choice, but there's probably one you'll like better.

If you want to know the most trans-friendly instance, it's lemmy.blahaj.zone. There are people who will tell you it's Hexbear. Those people are liars.

Holy cow this is me!

It is the first time I see myself as a hiring manager. It's not that displeasing though.. Welcome everyone!

I saw a mention of Lemmy on a random thread in r/politics so I'm tentatively having a poke about, since I've already tried to quit Reddit once (for Tumblr - it didn't stick). I remember forums pre centralised internet, is it something like that?

We've definitely seen an upswing in registrations this week, we usually have 1 a day and we are already on 8 today.

I came from the first reddit exodus and it's been great over here. You'll get used to it in no time, I promise.

Id like to point out there are also some really good mobile apps for lemmy. I use sync for lemmy. Hopefully others will recommend there favorites. There are quite a few good ones!

To Newbies, I just want to say:

If you aren't a Marxist-Leninist, you might wanna stay away from the big 3 Marxist-Leninist (aka: Tankie) instances [lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, lemmy.ml]

If you enjoy drama, this is the place to be.

For new people

I'm out of the loop. What's this "Reddit thread from earlier today"?

Also, yes, welcome to former Reddit users. I'm also a former Redditor, but I left during the API pricing fiasco.

what did the greedy little pigboy do this time?

Hey newbies! Confused about how it all works? Don't worry, you'll get used to the confusion. Also, check out !creepywikipedia@lemmy.world for a good niche community.
