People have showed up here on Lemmy reporting having been banned from Reddit (and for bullshit reasons) left and right now-a-days.
It's true Lemmy isn't as active as Reddit, and I definitely miss some Reddit communities I used to be part of. (I wasn't banned. I quit more on a "boycott" basis.) But Lemmy has its own strengths.
I'd recommend using the "new" sort and the "all" filter frequently. It's a good way to find communities. New/all has been most of how I browse Lemmy for a long time now.
Thanks, that's a useful tip
Top 6 hours is also a pretty good way to browse Lemmy. Enough turnover of links to keep you interested.
I got perma banned from Reddit for linking to epstein files and naming names.
Technically, the ban is justified, because I broke two rules; dox, and sharing content where children are harmed (multiple has (censored) dead victims in the photos)
But honestly, I learned my lesson and won't do it again lol
