Expanding on question 1:

Yes. You signed up from Lemmy.zip, who have their own set of rules for what is appropriate (as linked by trashcan). If you break them you'll likely be kicked out.

Furthermore, the sites and communities you interact with can ban you from talking to them: If the admins on the site I'm on (piefed.social) find your content to be inappropriate, they can ban your content from reaching users over here. That wouldn't affect you as much as being banned by lemmy.zip - it would just keep you from interacting with users and communities hosted at piefed.social.

Moderators of individual communities can also ban you, if they find that you break the rules in their community. If you're banned from a community you cannot participate in it any more.

Last, users can block you if they don't want to see your posts.

There's less of the funky shadow banning that Reddit does here, where your posts are rendered invisible to anyone but yourself without you knowing. I don't think that can happen at all.

    I'm pretty sure it can happen sometimes. If you try to post to a community you're banned in, you might still be able to hit "send", it will show up in your profile, and yet it won't be seen by anyone in that community. I've never bothered to figure out why this happens (and only sometimes), maybe there's also something funky going on with defederation between instances.

    If you get banned in a community, you will get a big red Banned in this Community flair next to your comments, and you shouldn't be able to post anything there (depends on the app you're using, I guess). There's also the modlog.

    At the bottom of each instance is their modlog. Here's Lemmy.zip's for example. You can search your username

    To clarify instance is like ( zip, world ect..) and community is like individual ( ex newtolemmy). If community bans me, i could still talk to other instances and communities just not one i am banned from correct?

    I guess i am just worried , i got banned from reddit over power tripped mod who didnt like comment . So i am trying find new place to socialize and see things. Still learning how lemmy works though. Is their a place to see on voyager app/lemmy zip how many upvotes their is we have? Or its not Existent ?

    Yeah, moderators of a community can only ban you from that community, server admins can only ban you from their instances. The only ones with the power to ban you completely are the lemmy.zip admins.

    There are some power tripping happening here as well, but you're a lot less vulnerable. Just don't be a jerk and you should be alright. :)

    Karma points is not really meaningful here, so I'm not sure if there's a way to view it from Lemmy.
