It is lol. Reddit is a forum disguised as social media, something which does not require complicated recommendation systems to feel complete. Hence lemmy/piefed feel more usable in my opinion.
You can tag a mastodon user in a Lemmy/Piefed-post.
The caveat being that their server has to be connected to your server.
You can’t choose another server to log in. Think about it as email - if you are using Gmail, you can’t log in to your email using Hotmail. You can write emails to users with Hotmail, but the login only works for your own email provider.
Some promotional posts were made on Reddit in the right comms, although none of them specifically exploded - albeit one was made also in r/buyCanadian and it seemed to surge.
cant be reddit bans, they have largely laid off the massive bans. although i have heard they upped thier methods of detecting would be ban evasion methods.
I saw it in a post about people getting temp bans for simply stating that EU allies would be right to defend Greenland in case of military action. Might just have been one of several grievances with Reddit at the moment though
then the 3 day sitewide bans end often leads to a shadow ban or sitewide ban, for unkown reasons for your part. as soon as they sniff other accounts you mave or deleted you are toast.
I’m probably applying too much logic here which Reddit admins don’t seem to like, but… how can defending oneself if something happens (not even preemptively, but after the fact) be threatening violence, while Trump repeatedly saying they’re gonna own Greenland one way or another is not threatening violence?
theres also other easy ways apparently to get banned too, “reporting people if the mods dont agree you can get permantly banned yourself”. or your comments are too spammy or to similar to bots.
One of my friends finally joined for two reasons. First he was disgusted by the Reddit ICE ads, and second he realized his Reddit feed was half shit he doesn’t subscribe to.
Is there any particular reason for this?
I‘m coming from an promotion in r/buyfromEU
Welcome!
thx, this fediverse seems for me more usable than others like mastodon a half if a year ago.
Welcome! Piefed/Lemmy are closer to Reddit than Mastodon is to Twitter. Feel free if you have any questions!

you right. reddit is just a good, easy to use forum, but this piefed here, too. That is what I like about it.
the great part about all this is you still being able to interact with people on mastodon. killer feature
sounds great, but how do I interact with them? can I choose another server to login from here?

@sloelk @big_slap Just for demonstration, I’ve copied the URL of this post into Mastodon and can instantly interact with it. Hi from Mastodon!
cool, thx

Reddit also upped the enshittification but i cant remember why.
its also too easy to get banned. new accounts and old inactive accounts becoming suddenly active are highly likely to get banned.

Woah, I haven’t heard about this. Are those temp bans on specific subreddits or a site-wide ban for not being pro-Trump?
It was 3 day site wide bans as I understood it. Reason given was that saying that Greenland should defend itself was “threatening violence”.
The thread in question, thing it is in r/Sweden https://www.reddit.com/r/sweden/s/BvEiqSM2cf

Ipo
That was the big one, but there was something else smaller last year.
What?

That’s actually also the reason I am here, lol. Reddit feed. has gone down the drain, although I don’t get Ice ads. I ain’t American.
A few posts on subreddits, see [email protected] and [email protected]
The 3 posts I made on reddit promoting the Fediverse and PieFed got over 300,000 views together.
More people getting involved in fedigrow could see much higher numbers, but let’s not spam.
Thank you! 👍👍
Happy to help, more are coming 😁
As a small comment, [email protected] is supposed to be the community for promotion outside of the Fediverse, so Reddit and others.
[email protected] is dedicated about community growing.
Maybe the names are confusing and we should switch community growing to a new [email protected] or something
Ah thanks for the clarification, I never looked that closely at what exactly they are, there’s some overlap
