I have enjoyed my time in Reddit with my art account.

I used to share NSFW portraits as per redditor requests there for around 3 years. Built my karmas and connections. Usually doing my routine of posting on some subs, when I got shadowbanned then eventually permabanned. I tried to appeal a couple more times but I just lost hope.

I will surely miss those times but F*ck That! I hope I find new people to jam with here in Lemmy.

    Its hard to imagine, but back when the first major reddit exodus happened, it was even more clunky. Now everything is mostly stable, federation works properly, image and text formatting is pretty user friendly in the web UI, etc

    The only stuff that will always stay unintuitive is linking to communities and posts and users and stuff.

    For example when i open this community from my instance, the URL in my browser is https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/reddit@lemmy.world

    But the proper way to link it, so it will always open in the instance of the user that clicks it is !reddit@lemmy.world

    With posts, comments and users there is no syntax like this i think sadly.

      Yes and it lacks a simple explanation. “Insta is pictures and reels” “Twitter is short sentences or images”. “Ah well lemmy is a selection of instances that etc etc etc” puts people off

        Lemmy is a link aggregator. Thats also what reddit is. Just a bunch of communities with link and image posts that have comment sections. After picking a server the average passive user on a lemmy mobile app will never really be confronted with the federated nature of lemmy again. Its only once you start posting and enganging with communities that you notice they all have weird different urls.
