    I have created different emails and using different ip address form different networks. The moment I use the account on my current ip, I get banned

    Grew up on enthusiast BBS, Lemmy is like a bunch of them are linked up.

    Dislike for profit internet as it must inevitably lead to enshitification, just never had a term for that in the past :)

    I don’t have an issue with “toxicity” as i just ignore it, like a dog shit on the side walk. I prefer the “BBS/Usenet format” to Twitter like Mastodon though I am over on Masto and had been there for many years. I don’t participate much though.

        I’m using Sync for lemmy and another Sync for reddit thanks to ReVanced.

        The reddit community has been reduced to a mob of slobbering children and bots though, so I’m not on there nearly as much. I also avoid contributing because I want to see it slowly die out. Sadly it is still the only source for some information.

          I’m using Sync for lemmy and another Sync for reddit thanks to ReVanced.

          I used to do this, effectively it confused my brain of which platform I was at at the moment lol.

          Anyway not anymore since Sync for Lemmy is so busted to me in my instance (not even showing upvotes for example) and the dev has been absent for so long that I am already using another app (my personal favorites are Summit, Voyager and Boost).

    It started with a distaste for how Reddit was treating developers and moderators, but now I genuinely believe in the future of the fediverse.

    Reddit killed third party apps and their mobile site barely functions, so I wasn’t able to use reddit on mobile without installing spyware/adware.
    Lemmy was the best alternative.

    I was in F-droid searching for stuffs, then I found lemmy, since my phone can’t install reddit cause I have storage problems, I tried out lemmy. And now I believe this is better than any community apps.

    For an actual community. I was tired of Discord and Reddit.

    just lemmy or the federation? im on mbin and I left with the big reddit migration and was pleasantly surprised to find something a bit closer to the old internet I knew. Im one of the few who don’t see the need for it to get popular but its fine to me if it does.
