Asklemmy

I use both while Lemmy's community is smaller. I yearn for a world with more small owners of the internet.

No but Reddit sucks.

I want lemmy to succeed. Sadly reddit has better shitposts

I never really used Reddit, but I read an article during the API debacle in 2023 that mentioned Lemmy so I gave it a shot.

Left on the API troubles went back once or twice for warframe and other small comunities but been liking here much better. I engage with people in here. It doesn't feel like screaming into the void.

Yes.

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

I just switched when the API nonsense shat all over the actually good reddit apps, since I primarily used reddit on my phone.

I saw lemmy touted as an alternative and figured why not?

Lemmy is my best friend now.

At the very least there's less "you should be supporting my sides' genocide and it's your fault my country is 'openly' evil now. we were hiding it and profiting off of it so well" on lemmy.

Got banned on Reddit years ago and I've been on Lemmy for a month

I started winding down when Alexis Ohanian fired the AMA subreddit's organizer; lied to her face; and blamed Ellen Pao (CEO at the time).
I started going there only when desperate after the API scandal.
The only thing that I miss is the ability to see just the subreddits I specify in the url (i.e. r/news+technology+worldnews+etc+etc)

I just like lemmy more, I deleted my 13 year old reddit account

Both. I was banned for using a slur. I was quoting a movie in a post about that movie (Glengarry Glenross). It was in quotation marks and everything.

I made a new account and was banned a month later for being racist. It was on a video of a train and I said something like 'why did I feel when that started like some Indian guy was going to die foolishly?'

Racist, apparently.

They gave me a tempory ban for bull crap so i deleted my 10+ year old account and moved here

Perma-banned, and the worst part is I'm not even sure why. I logged in while away on vacation, got hit with the 'you're logging in from an usual location, please confirm with an e-mail code', and when I did that, boom, locked with no option to appeal.

I find some humor in that a robot decided I was a robot. Perhaps that will save me when the great robot uprising occurs?

Got permabanned. I was one of the last protestors from the API stuff standing.

I was never banned on Reddit (did get the boot from like 3 subs but that was in 10 years of redditing) — but I manually purged my account when I left.

No and not really. Reddit is just past its expiration date. I believe Lemmy suffers from a lot of the same systemic issues and that will prevent it from becoming an actual long term solution. It's just the alpha version. It's better than the prototype, but it's still built on the same fundamentals and will likely suffer a similar type of failure.

Both

After spending some time on Lemmy, I have a feeling that if I were to say anything is get banned. I made a meme of that screaming seagull saying, "Luigi!!!" That I want to post from my main. I just can't bring myself to go back. It seems pointless.

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

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

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 like lemmy more.

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

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

I'm not angry when I use lemmy. So, I like it here.

I like Lemmy more because it is more aligned with my interest, notably Tech and Linux. I also like to have smaller communities in which your interaction have impact and are being read instead of being lost in thoudands of comments.

Both, I'm sure I could make a new account if I wanted but I don't want to contribute to their dumpster fire of a website anymore anyway

Neither.

I have no idea how many times I was permabanned. But what turned me to Lemmy was that cuntrag Spez taking away my Apollo.

Perma banned. Definitely Perma banned.

Funny how I went what thirteen years or something, being the same cranky old progressive I've always been yet the MOMENT the orange cancer takes office again and reddit kowtows to muskrat, I get permanently banned.

Karma like no tomorrow so apparently a lot of people agreed with me.

Banned outta nowhere. I submitted an appeal asking what rule I broke and it was denied with no explanation. 2 accounts. Several 100 thousand post and comment karma on one of them. I had been banned from individual communities for pissing off random mods but never a site admin.

Fuck em. I hope it crashes and burns.

I like lemmy more, but it doesn't have as much daily content, so I use both.
