Basically what I mean is, did you also come here from reddit? I came here after I got my Reddit account banned permanently. And the thing is, I don’t exactly know why I got banned. Nor what I did wrong. I always tried to follow the rules, post and comment appropriately and nicely, but on New Year’s Day last week, I got a message simply saying "Your account have been permanently banned for violating the rules. But when I replied asking what rule or rules I unknowingly broke, they just messaged me back saying “you got banned because you violated the community guidelines”. So now I’m here. What about you? Are you also a Reddit Refugee?
I’m guessing most people here came from Reddit. It was a ghost town before the APIocalypse.
Yeah, so much good information is there it’s unavoidable to just browse on in, from time to time.
Banning third party apps was the symptom. The root cause was Reddit going public. The lust for cash ruined Reddit for a lot of people.
Really obscure or local stuff is going to be just on Reddit. But yes, I definitely have noticed Lemmy used to appear in search results (Bing via DuckDuckGo usually) but hasn’t for a while.
