I’m here from Reddit. They banned me for absolutely no reason. That’s frustrating. How works Lemmy ?

    People in Lemmy are still people, I don’t think you got banned off of reddit for “'absolutely no reason” my guess is that you said something (doesn’t matter if the take/comment you put on reddit was or wasn’t good/proper) that pissed someone off and they banned you.

    I wouldn’t venture to think Lemmy is thaaaaaat different from reddit in the sense that every single user will be reasonable, level headed and open to civil discussion on here. From what I read from other users, it is still possible to get banned “for no reason” on Lemmy too.

        the only way you get banned “sitewide” is if you get banned from your host lemmy.world but you can use literaly any other host as long as they have open signups, no truely global bans unless nobody will take you

        No, a Lemmy instance can ban you, and that won’t/can’t ban you from creating a new account on another instance.

        But, that said, instance admins do talk to each other, and if you’re being a dick everywhere, you might find yourself getting less benefit of the doubt.
