Got banned from Reddit. Enjoying Lenny so far but thereβs some subreddits that donβt have enough traffic so I still go back to peruse. Anyone got advice to get around the reddit ban?
I tried Reddit but I had enough with all the rules and corporate cleanliness of it. I used this site called 'Saidit' for a bit but but no one ever posted there so I looked into Reddit alternatives and stumbled across Lemmy. The rest is history
To give me something to do on my phone during work hours since there's no way I'm touching the official reddit client
Because fuck u/spez
Fortune and glory.
Well I was IP banned on reddit. Anybody on reddit that uses my ip address gets an automatic ban forever. I don't know exactly what I said or do. I tried appealing no response till date. Got tired of trying different vpn just for reddit and had to move.
No luck getting around the ban? Iβve tried vpn with emulated devices but still no luck. Iβm certain they are teaming up with more companies because this is beyond the typical browser tracking
I like having ownership of my internet experience so I run a lemmy instance and my friend administrates it. It is more fun than using a botted network.
do you run it locally?
I started with it locally, but I migrated it to a hosting provider because of their managed services and I'm lazy. I take offsite hourly backups and own the domain so if anything happens I can rebuild it elsewhere.
Which provider? Thatβs nice to have that freedom

Any tips for getting it running? Iβm struggling
I could only get it to work with docker and not using ansible, the instructions are pretty good but if you have a specific question I can try and help. I do IT for a living so I guess I filled in some context maybe https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html
I got it somewhat running but I keep receiving errors from the postgres saying it was shut down. and when i try to login it says toastify is awesome.
less bootlicker trans community here than on reddit
Left Reddit because of the API stuff. Still on Lemmy because it's not as addictive and has a much higher concentration of leftists.
Same.
Better engagement than Reddit at this point I'm starting to believe it's all bots for real.
Quora's enshittification ~2018-2024 went too far, and I'm still looking for something good enough. Checking out Lemmy, Trust CafΓ©, and Kialo.
Because I believe in the idea of the Fediverse and I want it to succeed.
Reddit banned me for saying I should be allowed to punch Nazis, appeal silently declined within the hour. Didn't consider it worth pursuing further, had reddit-shaped hole.
You're right, I should go to bed.
In the past, I always felt good about never being on Twitter, considering how much people complained about it on Mastodon.
And then I realized I instead visited Reddit daily. To maintain my perceived superiority, I had to quit that and ended up here.
Reddit bad.
I got on Reddit because it's pseudonymous, and the nesting of threads is good. I didn't appreciate it for a while, but upvote/downvote also provides a useful proxy for what body language does in real life.
I'm here because Reddit got shitty. And I really wanted a decentralized platform, where one person couldn't screw things up for everybody else. It's a lot harder to "take over" a social media platform when it's spread out over 600 Instances in many different countries.
To monetise it and extract wealth from lemmings.
just one more fedi account bro just one more
Because fuck Spez, that's why.
Came here because of reddit API drama.
Stayed for the memes
Came in support of Apollo; I just couldnβt in good conscience continue to support Reddit (even after 19 years) with how they treated external clients.
Found it similar to Reddit so it scratched the same itch.
I just enjoy it here.
Cause need to take the web back.
Mostly for memes about beans.
Uh but for real because reddit quite literally sold out and went full corpo.
Came because I liked open source software and hate corporations. Stayed because communism
It became large enough to sustain conversation. I hope it becomes large enough to sustain niche communities.
EDIT: also "civility" doesn't mean "don't sass the nazis" like it does on reddit.
