It is explicitly not a community for lemmy support. That's highlighted in rule 3, and that was the removal reason attached to the removal. You can see it in the modlog here https://lemmy.ml/modlog/8?page=1&userId=3940835

@OriginalThinker@lemmy.ml, I'm responding to your DM here.
We don't move posts to the correct community because Lemmy doesn't have that option - and I'd rather you got to choose where your content lands.
As for why we don't reach out and tell people - this is a volunteer job on a big community. We rely on the mod log and allow this kind of meta post to stay up for transparency and discussion. Otherwise, we focus on following the rules laid out so that this community can stay within its intended scope. This is a community for open questions and discussion - not support.
I'm sorry you don't feel welcomed - that's tough. However, communities come with their own rules and mods will make sure they're enforced. I'd recommend checking those rules carefully before posting in the future as that will help the reception of your post.
It's a community similar/analogous to AskReddit, and support questions aren't accepted there as well.
Oh, and my post was supportive. Because giving a post, looking for ways to allow me to continue posting, is support.
It depends on how someone takes something, that's always the case.
This community is explicitly not for support.
In this case, support is referring to technical support, as in "questions about how to use lemmy." Asklemmy will remove any questions about how to use the site.
