Asklemmy

I'm permanently banned from Reddit. I don't like Lemmy nearly as much, but it's probably just that I'm less familiar and haven't figured it all out. Finding subs that I liked in Reddit was much easier, but there's the obvious moderator issues with Reddit - mainly that I'm banned.

I was a mod who decided fuck spez when he killed my app

I left in the API exodus. Never went back.

I deleted my account before the reddit exodus, when it became clear to me they were heading the way of all centralised social media

Got really close to getting permabanned, Then switched to using this. Then I started seeing people getting banned for upvoting certain content. Glad I left.

I still have my reddit account, although with all posts and comments first turned into Fuck spez and the deleted. I tried Lemmy first 2 years ago, but the Italian instance is just a mirror bot farm. I gave lw a chance now and I am hooked.

Not banned, just no high quality free apps and I got tired of paying for Narwhal. Hydra is okay but kind of laggy for some reason. Mlem is a joy to use so it makes me want to be here more.

Just like lemmy more.

I was never banned and I never really wrote any comments

Lemmy is going to the local store and Reddit is going to the mall.

I still have 2 Reddit accounts in good standing. I used Reddit entirely via the Reddit Is Fun app. I tried the official Reddit app but the ads flooded out content and performance was trash.

Neither, I still use reddit because the subreddits pertaining to my interests are still active. Lemmy is almost entirely political discussion and boomer Facebook comic strips from what I've seen, and most other boards pertaining to specific interests have low activity here. If that wasn't the case I would be using Lemmy much more.

Yes

I chose to leave a year ago as the 3rd party apps (I was using RiF (Reddit is Fun)) were being killed. Realized it was the beginning of the end and I left.

Tried a couple of Lemmy apps since then (and I have been mostly lurking) and landed on Connect for Lemmy and I'm very happy to have left the corporate hell-hole of social media

I've had accounts shadow banned due to VPN. I've had more accounts banned from subs due to annoying mods. I'm still on reddit, but I really do prefer the non-corporate/non-VC-backed social media

I liked reddit but came here because I'm Canadian and am trying my best to ween myself from american products and services due to the american administrations newfound disrespect for my country. Also, tariffs.

Not banned.. at least not that I know of. Just saw the writing on the wall after the API horseshit.

I just prefer Lemmy. I started exploring Lemmy about 6 months before the API fiasco. The content on Lemmy has just kept improving since.

When Reddit changed the layout (new/old) some ten years ago, I started using a 3rd party app, because "new reddit" was everything that I hated about other sites. I stopped using it when they killed 3rd party apps, but that was really just the final nail in the coffin anyway. It was rotten to the core long before that.

reddit was better simply because it has more people. but it's unusable without api access and alternative clients like sync and boost.

I have already saved subreddits I liked on bookmarks, but after so many suspensions and bans for literally stupid reasons I had enough of this cesspool which is reddit and surprisingly I feel a lot better, I think reddit takes way more than it gives to anyone, I use lemmy moderately and that's the way things should be with anything, not sure I will ever get back on reddit again

Left when the 3rd part apps got shut down. Stayed because of quality apps and no ads.

Lemmy has a variety of fresh opinions, and I like how everyone has different experiences. For example, I hardly see a unified opinion on what people think of Gen-Xers, Millenials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha. They seem well-distributed and for the most part, there's less of those subtle reddit-style "generalizations" here. I typically look for internet spaces that emulate reality, and I think Lemmy does that well.

Neither, deleted my 13+ year account.

I'm not banned because I almost never post or log in reddit, but I'm still going. There are communities I didn't find here. But I try to participate more here.

My main and all my alts except one was banned cause I kept reporting blatant ads disguised as legitimate posts as spam. Happened around the same time they killed off 3rd party apps, so I needed a good excuse to try Lemmy anyway.

Lemmy is my best friend now.

just left and haven't looked back, I'm not using the stupid default reddit app

I like lemmy more.

Nah. Reddit just sucks and Lemmy is awesome

I like lemmy more. There is no real permaban on reddit btw. I’ve been “permabanned” like 20 times on there

I came here when they made the API changes. I made the right choice. Rn Lemmy doesn't offer the variety and volume of content that Reddit did, but fuck those guys.

I got banned because one of the mods of r/entertainment didn’t like a joke I made. After I appealed it it was denied by admins because “the moderators need to be able to protect their communities”.

My joke: “1 like=1 wank 🫡 ”

I’m not banned, but prefer Lemmy more, or at least the idea of it. I come here first, browse around the communities I’m subscribed to, and then shift over to Reddit to browse again. Unfortunately, I’m still seeing more interesting things to me over there, people gushing over Alan Wake, talking up the war in Helldivers, chatting about ways to buy things locally instead of American, etc, the topics I’m interested in.

I do find that things keep getting more interesting here, more discussions I’m keen on seem to be surfacing, and I take that as a good sign.

both of my accounts are still up, i just like Lemmy more

I just use both. I don't like what Reddit as a company is doing, but they have a larger amount of content

Just like what lemmy stands for. I still visit reddit from time to time, mostly to use it to search for real product feedback (the window for which it will be useful is limited) and for a few niche communities that lemmy just isn't big enough to get any traction with. I post very occasionally in said communities.
