deleted by creator

Can’t remember. Probably 2 weeks ago on a random reddit thread.

Reddit has been banning/deleting comments and subreddits dedicated to Lemmy or Kbin—unless someone notices, then they un-delete or un-ban

On Mastodon!

Came here after leaving Reddit and looking for alternatives. Happy to be here and I’m never going back.

I happened upon one comment in r/TrackMania so it was totally coincidental. But I’m happy I found it. Otherwise I’d probably still be there or had searched for alternatives which might’ve lead to me ending up here anyway.

I actually knew about it for some years when investigating fediverse software.

If I remember correctly, I found Lemmy while looking into how to ‘de-google’ my phone

Found it after a random comment on reddit mentioned it. Been doing the same at least once a day, trying to slip under the radar and have gotten replies on it too, so at least I’m not shadowbanned (yet) it seems.

Came across a reference to it on Reddit. I didn’t do anything at the time, but when I came across two or three more references to it just before the blackout I thought I’d give it a try.

After I saw the AMA with spez, I didn’t have any hope for reddit being useable anymore. So I googled for something else to do my doom scrolling. I ran across a 4 year old YouTube video explaining the fediverse. Then I googled fediverse reddit alternative, and here I am. I wish I would have found out about all of this a long time ago.

I think I was looking for open source software and there was a section for social media

I saw it on hacker news and wanted to check it out as I intended to delete my Reddit account but wanted a new home where I could get my info fix. I came, I saw, I deleted my Reddit account and here I am :)

Reddit, like most comments here

Old account here. I was directed to Hexbear after r/cth was banned from Reddit. Later on, I learned about other instances. Federation wasn’t a thing back then; I made an account here to check federation out once it finally released.
