MODERATORS
It seems that a lot of new people have learned about these platforms from a popular post on Reddit. We currently see ~~78 notifications (and counting) and a pile of applications on piefed.ca~~ too many registration applications for me to keep this up to date.
I am pinning this thread on both platforms for new users to pop in to and ask questions. Please give them a warm welcome!
Please let us know how we can help! For example, here are some tips on finding communities: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/how-to-find-communities The guide says Lemmy, but the steps are the same on Piefed
Since a lot of people arrived here from r/BuyCanadian, maybe you will be interested in !buycanadian@lemmy.ca

Interesting, I'm going to try and ban + unban your account in case that helps. You've likely already tried this but is the problem limited to a particular user/post/community or does it happen everywhere. Can you try downvoting this comment?
I'll also tag a Piefed maintainer in this thread to see if there is something else we should be looking in to.
