What made you join Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

I was a long time reddit user, and made a couple new accounts as throwaways last year from different emails but they kept getting shadowbanned everytime I tried to post, comment or send a message. Just last night, my 3 year old account I had no issues using it at all got shadowbanned as soon as I sent a message. It's just so frustrating how hard reddit is moderated and there's no explanations given either they just shadowban you and I don't even know where to ask anyone either I installed Lemmy, hoping it'll be a good alternative and it is great and a lot of things I like about reddit, but there's a significant lack of the type of communities that I browsed in reddit. Hopefully I'll find them here or more people will join and it'll be better. So what made you install Lemmy and what did you wish Lemmy had?

They're just apps not made by Reddit, but made by Reddit users, some of which were paid. And many which were significantly better and more reliable than Reddit's.

A quick example on Lemmy just with the web, these are all lemmy.world but different UIs:

And that one too: https://tesseract.dubvee.org/

And that's just the web browser ones, there's a bunch for iOS and Android too. Reddit had even more.

A good app that matches your style of scrolling really makes a difference.
