Unfortunately that same community is about 460 people on Lemmy. There’s been three attempts thus far, the main 460 person community seems to be the one that’s sticking. At the beginning a couple of the regulars posted on the communities reddit sub, and were instantly threatened with permabans, and any mention of Lemmy on their sub apparently gets deleted and results in bans. I couldn’t make this shit up, it’s pretty unhealthy. But there is tons of local content on the reddit sub. We were an affected family that were involved in a local crisis last fall for example, and it was really useful for that as well, to connect with other local affected people in a way that couldn’t be directly tied back to us by any adverse parties, so we could voice frustrations and support each other. Thankfully I have an alt account that is unbanned, so I could use it for that. But it’s still really irritating, I’m a grown adult, but it still just bums me out that people can act like that, I dunno.
