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
Interesting. My fault for not checking to be sure. Assumed from what I read I didn’t need to give it.
Have been trying Mirage also and it asked for nothing when signing up which to me is great. Always try to be privacy focussed with these things is all.

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.
