I heard about it through a negative review of Reddit in the AppStore and decided to check it out. Reddit permanently banned me for “abuse of the report function” though I had only reported a few things in my many, many years on the site. Then they proceeded to ban my entire family’s accounts because we share an IP address. Right after all of that, the news about third party apps came out and here we are.
I hope Lemmy continues to grow!
This has been a dream of mine as well! I kept saying “why hasn’t someone created a better social media platform, especially an anonymous one like Reddit?” I didn’t know Lemmy existed until I went to post a negative review for Reddit and saw it plugged in someone else’s negative review for Reddit. I’m so happy it exists!
