So you went on Reddit to complain about Lemmy. They banned you. And, now you’re back on Lemmy complaining about Reddit and looking for a sympathetic ear? Do I have that correct?

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
Reddit's community, as in the whole, feels like it plays by some unwritten rules where straying just a bit from those causes maximum persecution. And though I understand each platform has a culture, including here on the fediverse, Reddit's I don't feel like culture either.
About adressing your fediverse concerns, I second the idea of curating your experience by blocking, subscribing, and manually looking the community list as needed. Furthermore, I'd also suggest keeping an eye on where the posts that cause you to be annoyed come from, since those not uncommonly come from the same places.
I just noticed that Lemmy defaults to showing you a feed of all local communities when you open the homepage instead of subscriptions. There doesn't seem to be a way to change that. I'm bombarded with the ragebait and doomerism that suffuses typical Lemmy discourse as soon as I open the homepage, and I have to click a button to tell the server "now show me what I actually want to see".
Yes I know you can block communities, but maintaining a list of blocked instances, comms, and users feels like playing a game of whack-a-mole. If people here were more chill I might feel differently, but the rage shows up in the weirdest places you'd never expect, and not even in an organic way.
It's such a tiny change, but I think defaulting to showing a user's subscriptions rather than the local feed, only falling back to local if the user isn't signed in or if the user has no subscriptions, would make a huge difference.
About defaulting to subscriptions, there actually is a way through the settings:
ah I see, thanks.
Ani.Social being a Lemmy instance.
Also sadly that requires having an account. Also, PieFed iirc has curated feeds, something Lemmy copying wouldn't be half bad, I think.
So I'm a troll, am I?
The OP was copy-pasted from my post here with some clarifying edits. And you can gather from my other post on this community that "just going back to Reddit" isn't something I want.
fwiw pretty sure your post was duplicated over on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com earlier today and there's a little bit of discussion over there too including comments in support of points you made. idk why that person jumps to calling troll given you even mentioned a specific community you were posting in, even without initially knowing your username it was very easy for me to see that you have been regularly active in there for a year at least.
Thanks for linking that community!
