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

Found out about Lemmy a while ago the through an app that existed for it (Lemmur) due to weird search of Fdroid, when the shit hit the fan I just followed the crowd.

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.

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.

Saw kbin mentioned in a verge article comment section during the reddit coverage.

I went to see Motörhead at Rockfabrik Ludwigsburg around 1986 and there he was, center stage.

Oh. I learned about lemmy a while back after searching something like “fediverse like reddit”. I didn’t join until this year. I didn’t know about the API wars until afterward.

I assume any mention of Lemmy was marked as spam or was I just not browsing the right communities?

The RedditAlternatives sub is about 10 years old. Fediverse sub 5 years. The Lemmy sub is newish, only 1 year.

Reddit, like most comments here

On Mastodon!

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

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.
