Yo. I’m new here on Lemmy. Was recently banned on Reddit. Have just been surfing a few posts to get the rundown on how Lemmy works vs Reddit.
I seen someone on here saying they didn’t have to provide an email to sign up here, but I did? What’s that about? It almost put me off signing off completely to be honest as i’ve been trying out Mirage a lot lately also and they operate differently entirely. No personal information required at all. So when I decided to give it a go here it threw me a bit.
It ranges from “present a thesis about our ideology” to “password optional”. You can run your own instance too. The whole federation thing is a pretty cool concept, I suggest looking into it a bit vs just thinking of this as a reddit alternative. Yeah there are apps and frontends pretty much identical to reddit, but it’s a very superficial similarity

Anyone any idea?

I’m tech illiterate so please don’t just trust me on this but I think that has to do with the instance you join
It depends on what instance you signed up to. Different instances have different sign-up rules.
