I have created different emails and using different ip address form different networks. The moment I use the account on my current ip, I get banned
Got banned from Reddit. Enjoying Lenny so far but there’s some subreddits that don’t have enough traffic so I still go back to peruse. Anyone got advice to get around the reddit ban?
Left Reddit because of the API stuff. Still on Lemmy because it’s not as addictive and has a much higher concentration of leftists.
Same.
Because fuck u/spez
Saw the whole fiasco of Reddit unraveling and then went to Lemmy. Seriously fuck Spez and how he treated the developer of Apollo.
Came here because of reddit API drama.
Stayed for the memes
Because fuck Spez, that’s why.
I like having ownership of my internet experience so I run a lemmy instance and my friend administrates it. It is more fun than using a botted network.
do you run it locally?
I started with it locally, but I migrated it to a hosting provider because of their managed services and I’m lazy. I take offsite hourly backups and own the domain so if anything happens I can rebuild it elsewhere.
Which provider? That’s nice to have that freedom
Any tips for getting it running? I’m struggling
I could only get it to work with docker and not using ansible, the instructions are pretty good but if you have a specific question I can try and help. I do IT for a living so I guess I filled in some context maybe https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html
I got it somewhat running but I keep receiving errors from the postgres saying it was shut down. and when i try to login it says toastify is awesome.
Because I believe in the idea of the Fediverse and I want it to succeed.
Fortune and glory.
Better engagement than Reddit at this point I’m starting to believe it’s all bots for real.
Came in support of Apollo; I just couldn’t in good conscience continue to support Reddit (even after 19 years) with how they treated external clients.
Found it similar to Reddit so it scratched the same itch.
Because reddit shut down my favorite app.
I’m still using BaconReader thanks to reVanved.
I’m using Sync for lemmy and another Sync for reddit thanks to ReVanced.
The reddit community has been reduced to a mob of slobbering children and bots though, so I’m not on there nearly as much. I also avoid contributing because I want to see it slowly die out. Sadly it is still the only source for some information.
For Lemmy, I’m using Boost.
I’m using Sync for lemmy and another Sync for reddit thanks to ReVanced.
I used to do this, effectively it confused my brain of which platform I was at at the moment lol.
Anyway not anymore since Sync for Lemmy is so busted to me in my instance (not even showing upvotes for example) and the dev has been absent for so long that I am already using another app (my personal favorites are Summit, Voyager and Boost).
Say what? Bacon reader still works?!
It does on Android with a personal Reddit API key and ReVanced. There are instructions posted over st r/baconreader.
To spread the word about the ultimate beverage: WATER
but it’s so dangerous; everyone who drinks it dies. lol
This is just one of Big Soda’s lies. Everyone who had drank water and died, had also breathed air. Oxygen is also toxic, so I think, that conclusion is obvious.
Haha makes me think about the old HydroHomies subreddit and what it was originally called
Water N-[Redacted]
Lol yup! That’s the one haha
Well I was IP banned on reddit. Anybody on reddit that uses my ip address gets an automatic ban forever. I don’t know exactly what I said or do. I tried appealing no response till date. Got tired of trying different vpn just for reddit and had to move.
No luck getting around the ban? I’ve tried vpn with emulated devices but still no luck. I’m certain they are teaming up with more companies because this is beyond the typical browser tracking
