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?

    The reddit exodus during the API policy changes and 3rd party app shutdowns

    I think I did try out Lemmy even before that. I remember making an account in Mander to try it out. Didn’t use it much and forgot about it, even the username.
    I didn’t know about the Fediverse or Lemmy then. Didn’t know about the progressive political background of Lemmy and the development too.

    Then made this account. It’s nice.
    I still use reddit with Infinity for Reddit, since communities on my state, country and mother tongue are more active there(I’m from Kerala/India).

    1. Multi-communities would be very good to have.
    2. A feature to save draft comments/posts on the Jerboa app would be cool too. Not directly related to Lemmy tho

    I think both have been brought to attention of the developers and they have plans to add that. Cool people.
