I know this will take some time to get used to, but I am using the Voyager app. I am confused on what local communities in comparison to the federate communities.

I’m also not sure why there are so many different apps for Lemmy because now I feel like I should be checking them all out, but Voyager is very similar to Apollo for Reddit so I feel most comfortable here.

What is an instance?

And how long will I be able to share photos? Since my account is one day old I can’t upload any pictures.

I’ll have more questions, but I can’t think of them right now, thanks in advance!

Hi guys. I am currently a cat foster mama 🐈‍⬛. I plan to update more soon. Since I am a new account and new Lemmy user, my posting capabilities are limited, but stay tuned!

Right now, the only rule is be nice and civil!

I will add more soon! Trying to figure things out in between my work schedule.

Feel free to use this thread as an introduction!

I’ll go first:

I started fostering in February 2024. I am only able to foster cats due to my 9-5 work schedule.

I currently have:

Maddie, a 7 year old torbie (had her since May 2024). She is so shy and skittish. She was found on the streets of Newark, NJ.

Felicia, a 4 year old tuxedo (also very shy and a little mean haha). I got her 2 weeks ago. She came from a hoarding case with 30 cats!

I finally got my first foster Bootsie (14) adopted last month! I had him since February 2024. I would add photos but I am unable to upload since I am new here.

This has been one long annoying situation reddit put me in.

Basically, I belonged to random acts of cards (since 2017) one day I was messaging people asking for their mailing info and I guess I messaged too many people in a short period of time. I got temp banned for 3 days. Then it happened again even though I tried to be careful. Got perma banned. So I made a new username because damned if reddit is going to stop me from engaging in one of my favorite hobbies. Had that username for about 5 months and something signaled to reddit that it was me, circumventing my [very stupid] ban in the first place.

Now every time I tried to make a new username (tried deleting cookies/cache, using a VPN, etc.) it gets banned within a few hours. It’s been EXTREMELY frustrating and unfair. It’s not like I was engaging in malicious behavior!!!

So I finally said fuck reddit admins. They have ignored all of my appeals so I’m here.
