As someone who was an avid user of the snark subr3ddit, is there anything that I can do to help get it restored? That the moderators are appealing the ban to R3ddit, but if there’s anything I can do to add my voice to protest would be happy to.

Thanks for the kind offer! For me, it is more of a justice issue. The sub should never have been banned in the first place so getting it restored is like a small battle win in the larger war. I know it must seem petty to people who haven’t been a part of this community for long, but it’s important to show that we won’t be bullied into silence when we are bringing up issues of concern.

That said, learning a new platform is a but jarring in my advanced age of early 40s😂 Does Lemmy have an app?
It does, see this thread: https://lemmy.ca/post/22652027
I wish you the best of luck in your fight for justice against Reddit censorship. Personally, I’ve settled into the view that the way to win against big tech is to refuse to play their game, but each to their own.
Yes! In fact, it has many! Each app has a slightly different feel depending on your style of interaction. Jerboa is what you could call closest to a ‘first-party app’ but in some respects it’s more simplistic than others.

One more sidenote: you may find that the average user age on Lemmy skews higher than Reddit (see the Lemmy.ca census), which could mean you’d more easily find your crowd.
Thanks for the link and the info! Great to know about the demographic here, happy to hear it!
