I'd do it myself but unfortunately I'm banned from Reddit and any new account gets banned in minutes.

Can you lot pull your finger out yer arse and start commenting in UK subs to "come to Lemmy".

Nice one, cheers.

How do you get banned from a sub you weren't even in?

I wish I knew more, but apparently it's quite a common thing. Mods that have too many subreddits will just ban you from other subreddits. I think mine may have been due to 'Left' leaning politics and being British. As they were very American orientated subreddits, and pretty conservative from what I recall.

Sometimes it's just that certain subreddits got brigaded a lot by users of another subreddit, so it was reasonable to proactively ban people as they were much more likely to do more harm than good. Usually, if that was the reason, you could ask to be let in via modmail.

Reddit never produced the brigade detection and prevention tools they were promising a decade ago, so if there was a big enough problem, the only options were some pretty blunt instruments.
