I was banned for “Rule 4” which, by digging through their rules (which weren’t as easy to find as I expected it to be) I learnt that it was “Illegal content”. I literally never posted a comment, post or had ANY kind of interaction on lemmy before. THIS would be my first comment.
Something similar happened to me with a community on hexbear. Never posted but I already had a ban. The mods must have seen a comment or something on a different community on the instance. Some of the mods there are just as think skinned as on ml.

I had a post made up of almost exclusively links to news sources (to back up a previous claim) removed due to being “uncivil”
The rules are generally on the sidebar of the community or instance (depending on if you want to know the rules of the community or instance).
