What made you join Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

I was a long time reddit user, and made a couple new accounts as throwaways last year from different emails but they kept getting shadowbanned everytime I tried to post, comment or send a message. Just last night, my 3 year old account I had no issues using it at all got shadowbanned as soon as I sent a message. It's just so frustrating how hard reddit is moderated and there's no explanations given either they just shadowban you and I don't even know where to ask anyone either I installed Lemmy, hoping it'll be a good alternative and it is great and a lot of things I like about reddit, but there's a significant lack of the type of communities that I browsed in reddit. Hopefully I'll find them here or more people will join and it'll be better. So what made you install Lemmy and what did you wish Lemmy had?

Banned for a stupid reason from Reddit. I made a joke that a mod from r/entertainment didn’t like and got banned. I kept accidentally commenting on the subreddit because I often comment on posts without checking subreddit. Even though I had muted and blocked r/entertainment it kept popping up on my feed because it’s a general subreddit. Got banned from Reddit for trying to circumvent the ban.

Damn that sucks, but didn't you try to just make a new account on a new email?

Yes and apparently I’m ip banned from using Reddit on my phone. I tried a vpn also but it wasn’t worth the hassle or the money.

What did u to get IP banned bro?

[–] Pacattack57 1 points 2 days ago

That comes with the ban because I have multiple accounts. That’s how they prevent ban evasion.
