I wanted to post my photo in a dress on lemmy's r/femboy alternative. Searched: one of the instance blocked, second one have 8 months gap between posts (basically dead). There whooping 2.5 users on lemmy, who are interested in femboys and I'm one of them.

While most people agree with you on paper - no one wanna switch, cause there no real alternative. Similar with google, youtube, windows, nvidia and all other IT monopolistic crap.

Agree i got banned on reddit and have create new account every once in a while then had to fight shadow ban , I wouldn't think twice before switching but most communities that I follow specially local once are basically non existent only the super popular or some niches with technically sound user base were able to shift rest all stayed at reddit

I was a terminal redditors for over a decade and that last year or two I was getting site-wide bans at an accelerating rate. I'm off there to avoid a permaban and I'll only post there if I need a question answered no other way.

I've been on Lemmy for 19 days so far and feel like it scratches whatever pseudo-social itch Reddit scratched before; even though the communities aren't as niche, the community and moderation isn't so consistently obnoxious.
