I’d do it myself but unfortunately I’m banned from Reddit and any new account gets banned in minutes.

Can you lot pull your finger out yer arse and start commenting in UK subs to “come to Lemmy”.

Nice one, cheers.

    I would love to, but I have closed my account after being banned from numerous subs. Five of these subs I wasn’t even subscribed too, or even posted in them.

    I will have a think of other places to promote the place, but I am in so few communities that I’m not sure what is left?

    Then again, I did use up all my brain power with the idea of the banner. That does look amazing. So can I be excused from this game please? /s

        I wish I knew more, but apparently it’s quite a common thing. Mods that have too many subreddits will just ban you from other subreddits. I think mine may have been due to ‘Left’ leaning politics and being British. As they were very American orientated subreddits, and pretty conservative from what I recall.

          Sometimes it’s just that certain subreddits got brigaded a lot by users of another subreddit, so it was reasonable to proactively ban people as they were much more likely to do more harm than good. Usually, if that was the reason, you could ask to be let in via modmail.

          Reddit never produced the brigade detection and prevention tools they were promising a decade ago, so if there was a big enough problem, the only options were some pretty blunt instruments.

      Easy to circumvent. If you can be arsed, go get UTM or Virtualbox, either virtualise Windows or Linux, install an OS then run a vpn inside the VM. They are probably fingerprinting you with cookies or machine id
