Pro tip, just about the worst way to introduce yourself here is to mention you are here because you were banned on reddit.

Sadly, that's like the free space on the "What brought you to the Fediverse?" bingo card.

What interests you? There's a lot of people here not willing to be the first regular poster somewhere but someone has to do it and others often follow.

People have showed up here on Lemmy reporting having been banned from Reddit (and for bullshit reasons) left and right now-a-days.

It's true Lemmy isn't as active as Reddit, and I definitely miss some Reddit communities I used to be part of. (I wasn't banned. I quit more on a "boycott" basis.) But Lemmy has its own strengths.

I'd recommend using the "new" sort and the "all" filter frequently. It's a good way to find communities. New/all has been most of how I browse Lemmy for a long time now.

Welcome, there are a lot of them, it is just a bit slower pace here which you'll have to get used to coming from reddit, not at all bad honestly

I was proudly banned from Reddit

I was a mod of a top ten sub. I was banned for:

Banning Nazis

Reporting bots

Reporting gooner/csam subs (when the admins did nothing, I reported them directly to the FBI)

I made work for the admins, and they didn’t like it.

I am proud to have been banned from reddit

https://lemmyverse.net/ is a great tool.

Yes there is much less activity than reddit. Yes there are much less bots than reddit.

And yes, you must take time and care to interact more than in reddit, if you want Lemmy / fediverse su succeed.

And yes, on the long run the fediverse will superseed all other corporate owned social media just because.

So, don't complain and be part of it! :)

Got banned from reddit for telling someone the views they espoused were fascist in nature. Proud of it.

AI slop is hard to give up.

Eh, it's the same as anywhere else.

Bans are red flags, that's not the same as a "do not enter" sign. There's accounts on here that create communities no one else posts to, just so they can ban people they argue with in other places. Weaponizing the modlog for people that (for some reason) just blindly believe everything in the modlog.

It's a weird move for OP to say being here isn't a choice. But you can get banned from reddit for all types of shit, some is admirable and some you'd get banned from anywhere for saying.

Be the change you want to see in the world lemmy

Bots haven't had much impact here yet

I still have an account in good standing there that I don't use because I can't use Apollo.

There are not fewer bots than Reddit.

Are you joking? Most of Lemmy.ml is bots, haha

I didn't say there are none... But LESS than reddit I think it's a safe guess.

Same. I moved because of the API debacle in 2023 (my original account was on .world) not because I was asked to leave.

Who hasn't been banned from reddit at least once?

Per-capita, more on Lemmy… in my observation. Definitely more alt accounts on Lemmy, per-capita. The Lemmy dogpile is a whole phenomenon.

😂

Thanks, that's a useful tip

I moved because of the API debacle in 2023

Same here.

You just gotta hang in there while the fediverse gets more users, contribute where you can. I still visit reddit for specific interests that are dead over here but I only lurk, I don't cobtribute back. The fact is that if everyone leaves due to there not being enough users, the fediverse will never grow. From what I can tell it does seem to get more active over timez hang in there.

Top 6 hours is also a pretty good way to browse Lemmy. Enough turnover of links to keep you interested.

I lurk as well, they won’t let me contribute if I wanted to.

I definitely miss the niche communities and am mostly happy with what’s happening here. Would love to see it grow so local communities become relevant and active.

Not-A-Bot community where we name and shame would be great, until it gets overrun

I got perma banned from Reddit for linking to epstein files and naming names.

Technically, the ban is justified, because I broke two rules; dox, and sharing content where children are harmed (multiple has (censored) dead victims in the photos)

But honestly, I learned my lesson and won't do it again lol

And instantly I already know you're interesting and think for yourself. Because you don't follow the echo chamber like a good little redditor does.

Kudos to you!

I was on reddit for a long time and didn't make as many posts as I have here in 3 years.

Anyone with .ml just assume is a bot at this point.

Saying something you disagree with doesn't make someone a bot

True, but it doesn’t make the account a real person either.

!science_memes@mander.xyz is a good one for lots of funny and possibly informative posts (it has posts about scientists complaining about things they have to deal with at their jobs, but it also has lots of posts with funny and interesting information)

i'm not a fan of tankies either but this is disturbing

I was a lurker for years on reddit until all their bs I moved here and am active now.

You got some sauce for that pasta?

I peruse all. Many communities are passion projects of folks but im not sure if any particular thing is diversly active. I really wish sto or champs people would come here.

Observation in something you can do all by yourself. You don’t need me to hold your hand.

Burden of proof is on the presenter.

On Reddit, most were pretty slow or full of fluff back when I used it, up to around 2023. Lemmy, or more broadly the fediverse as a whole, is pretty active if you're not checking specific groups/communities/magazines/channels. Even more so if you use microblogging platforms, microblogging being e.g. Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram's types of posts, or hybrid platforms with both microblogging and groups.

But also, algorithms, when present, are very minimal in the fediverse. You won't be bombarded with stuff to follow, requiring you to curate what and who you follow. So back at being very active if not looking for specifics, follow enough communities of your interest, and your feed should fill up in no time.

Unless I don’t care about educating morons.

be the change ... :)

I feel you I got shadowbanned on Reddit last night. Had no warning whatsoever. I didn’t know posting in other communities and commenting on posts would flag spam and I get well banned. Have noticed people use the downvote more on here than Reddit.

/communities?listingType=All&sort=TopMonth&page=1 sorts the communities by activity

You can also browse the All feed with the "New Comments" sort, or "Active"

🫂 lemmy will grow, I know it.

I still go and browser reddit because local subs of my city or region are fun

We should make a lemmy community for banned redditors

Like a support group.

For us to detox...

Nah, I am lazy
