We were banned for literally no reason. I was on the sub and following since 2019, we were at peak when we were quarantined while we just started getting bigger and bigger. Who knows how many subs would we have today. I never thought that Lemmy could replace the reddit sub, but it proved otherwise. We’re still quarantined and I don’t know if we’ll be back or just straight banned one day. And yes, all of this while racist, incest, real gore, pornographic, fascist and nazi subs still exist openly and no one is saying anything about it there.
Many old mods and members disappeared for some reason, like Grace, Environmental Data, Stalin’s Spoon etc, I don’t know what happened to them and some of the others here on Lemmy, but tens of thousands of users didn’t come here for some reason, what happened to them?. I came here after the quarantine and suspension of reddit account, but suspension was lifted and I planned to stay there until we eventually get banned, but rddit being rddit I was perma suspended months ago, this time for good and without a single explanation, just ‘‘multiple violations of reddit policy’’, nothing else. So I went off and since then, idk what’s happening there.
Even if we get unquarantined somehow, at this point it wouldn’t be the same and I think that we’re better off even if we still don’t have user base in strong numbers. I was assaulted on reddit and few other social media a couple of times just because of being myself, I never saw a community so accepting like here, thank you guys!🖤
I’m sure there are a lot of people on the Genzedong and tankie bunker discords that aren’t on here. Also plenty are still on r/thedeprogram, r/sendinthetanks etc.
Edit: the subs have 15.9k and 16.3k respectively, in the top 5% of subs
They probably haven’t heard about Lemmygrad. It’s rather difficult to post invitations to this site and get anyone to see it. I guess a lot of people didn’t see the original gzd post recommending places for refugees to go. Last I tried I got maybe one in a r/thedeprogram post while the rest stayed at neutral in karma. Maybe we should collectively reach out, collectively promote a single call to join so it looks more organic?

joining here was difficult, and many just didnt feel like commiting to yet another platform.
Part of genzedong was mockign reddit and providing an alaternative, tbh.
“What happened to them”

Why don’t they just come here?

It really feels small without 57k subs, they need to come.
