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?
