    Aaaand it’s gone, and I’ve been banned from the sub.

    got 80,000 views and 1200 upvotes before is disappeared though, so I see that as a win, I’m sure a few people signed up.

      “excessive promotion”

      Banned from r/BuyFomEU due to excessive promotion…

      How are people supposed to behave on that sub?

      Really? I was able to comment a couple of minutes ago.

        I still see Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/BuyFromEU.

        You can comment but I think it’s just “Hidden” idk

      No… you are doing an amazing job. Like that’s wild and absolutely phenomenal!

      Seems like an odd sub to promote Lemmy in.

      • ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        They were likely posting about the BuyFromEU Lemmy community.

      I think you should contact the moderation team. I’d be really curious to hear what they have to say is “excessive” about you informing people of EU-based alternatives to Reddit…

      If nothing else it’ll be a good laugh here on fedi.

      I suspect it wouldn’t matter if you posted it once or posted it a hundred times. Lemmy is a rival service, and plenty of people have been banned for mentioning it before.

    So much talk about duplicate communities, which is just so weird to me, seeing as reddit also constantly has duplicate communities despite being centralized :D

    • PlantJam@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It’s also my biggest complaint, but I avoid it by just browsing local all.

      • Azzu@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah but that’s what I’m saying, this happens in exactly the same way on Reddit too

        When you search for a community just pick the biggest one. Really all there is to it. Honestly reddit had the same issue with similarly named subs

      I like that the top comment went from “there are too many communities I want just one” to “Im joining to make it better for others”.

      Duplicate communities are a good thing anyway.

      It’s crazy that on Reddit a community can get hijacked by some fucking weirdo who has control of things basically forever.

    You can check out( but you can never leave.

      I just left a comment 2 years ago or so that got me permanently banned and came here and never looked back. Can’t get my wife to switch because there’s not enough stuff here. She got an account but just went back 2 days later.

        lol I remember getting banned from r/news and still have no idea what it was that did it. A couple other autobans from conservative subs, too, but it was when pissboy spez killed the API access that I fucked off never to return. I was a devout Apollo user and the official app can go fuck itself with rusty barbed wire with its sewage UI and ads. I had a 12 year old account, too.

      Great quote but one of the points is that Lemmy makes it easier to switch between servers haha!

    I feel that the best thing about federated social like Lemmy is just that there’s no reason to engagement farm. Like I could get big on Lemmy but unless I’m able to direct that traffic somewhere else effectively, who cares?

    I’m not European but isn’t Lemm.ee American?

      Estonian, .ee is the country extension

        The IP address is from the US though

        True, although it looks like a pun so I wouldn’t assume it’s someone registering their local TLD.

        • .ml is Mali, but I’m confident the .ml instances aren’t hosted in Mali.
        • One can still register .su (Soviet Union TLD)

        I can’t find their terms and conditions, but they do mention the GDPR plus their choice of 16+ instead of 18+ for age restriction makes me suspect it’s somewhere European.
