I heard about it maybe 2 and a half years ago. I'm on the r/redditalternatives sub, and was (still looking) for a Reddit alternative that wasn't ban happy or censorship.

I used the fediverse and liked how you can pretty much do exactly that depending on what server. So I was curious is there was a fediverse reddit alternative.

I found lemmy and was super excited. But it was so so so, fucking dead. I'd say, maybe 10 new posts a day. Not many reply.

It sucked.

Then I started acting up lol like I always do when I see people post dumb fucking shit. And I started to get Banned.

So I researched for a free speech instance, and joined wolfballs instance. Where I met my peeps !

But sadly wolfballs came to a close eventually and stopped using Lemmy until the Exodus. I already had an account on exploding-heads.com so I logged in and sure enough my peeps were still there !

Then exploding-heads.com came to a close and I joined lemdit.com where I met some more really cool peeps but they came to a close to.

And I got banned from others instances though for trolling. I couldn't help it people just saying dumb shit and posting stupid shit acting as if they're smart I just have to call it out it's one of my pet peeves. But after that I'm done with it it's too stressful it's really really toxic and I don't want a part of it
