I'm doing as well as can be, also, first post. I saw Kentucky was "added" to the midwest as a community and said, "let's make an account" - glad to get away from reddit. Honestly, I keep seeing the sticky post to go make friends, and with spring in KY, I've been going on walks to the park. So hello Lemmy, thanks for having me.

As good as can be expected after getting perma-banned on reddit for violating rules with multiple accounts just hours before my 7-day temp ban for 'encouraging violence' was lifted on appeal, despite only ever having had 1 account in my entire 14 years of using reddit.

Pretty good, I’ve been off of social media for a while but Lemmy looked intriguing enough to give it a try. I’m hoping it will be engaging without being addictive. So far I like it.

So did anything in particular trigger the influx of new users? Just curious. I’m another one of those people that came from Reddit during the API bullshit in 2023.

Reddit decided to get a lil fashy and start banning people even for just upvoting shit.

My understanding is that it's due (at least in part) to some pretty aggressive censorship that's been going on over there. Especially with regard to Luigi and related topics.

I'm also curious to hear if I'm wrong or if there's other stuff at play too

I think reddit started banning people for even upvoting Luigi memes and protest stuff.

Doing pretty well! At this point it's been over a year since I came over in the third-party app exodus and it's been great. Haven't really looked back all that much.

I'm glad to have picked this instance for my main account since it's local to me, isn't heavy handed with defederation (I like to watch the crazies from a safe distance) and performance has generally been good.

Outside of Lemmy things are pretty chill, no major complaints and my birthday is on Saturday, so it should be a good weekend :)
