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.

Is there any particular reason for this?

Reddit also upped the enshittification but i cant remember why.
cinoreus@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Ipo
JamieDub86@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
That was the big one, but there was something else smaller last year.

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

Woah, I haven’t heard about this. Are those temp bans on specific subreddits or a site-wide ban for not being pro-Trump?

its also too easy to get banned. new accounts and old inactive accounts becoming suddenly active are highly likely to get banned.

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.

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.

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 !fedigrow@lemmy.zip and !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com

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.
Blaze@piefed.zip 3 weeks ago
As a small comment, !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com is supposed to be the community for promotion outside of the Fediverse, so Reddit and others.
!fedigrow@lemmy.zip is dedicated about community growing.
Maybe the names are confusing and we should switch community growing to a new !communitygrow@piefed.zip or something

Ah thanks for the clarification, I never looked that closely at what exactly they are, there’s some overlap
rimu@piefed.social 3 weeks ago

Welcome!
sloelk@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
thx, this fediverse seems for me more usable than others like mastodon a half if a year ago.
Blaze@piefed.zip 3 weeks ago
Welcome! Piefed/Lemmy are closer to Reddit than Mastodon is to Twitter. Feel free if you have any questions!
cinoreus@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.
big_slap@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
the great part about all this is you still being able to interact with people on mastodon. killer feature
