Comment on Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM me
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 1 week agoThere’s definitely something going on. Whoever I add a Lemmy instance URL that isn’t obsufcated somehow, like replacing the periods with commas or (dot), then my comment gets no likes or responses, whereas a very similar comment in the same thread without a link does.

It doesn’t surprise me. They’re losing users left right and centre

Reddit won’t show you that your comment was removed by a mod and shows removed comments on user profiles (unless they had to be nuked for legal reasons). If you suspect you’re shadow banned or if your comment was quietly removed you have to check for that from a separate account in that comment thread directly.

you could probably also just open that on a private tab right?

I don’t really get why this solution isn’t used much or even suggested. I mean fetching the data without an account is a foolproof way to detect shadowbanning and silent removals. Frankly I’m surprised no one has simply made an extension or tool to do it automatically.

I assume those who were interested enough could whip out a script to do that easily until Reddit disabled API which is the moment I lost interest in the platform. I don’t know how people do it these days without getting accounts suspended for automated traffic but it’s something you have to consider and probably the reasons why such tools are not available widely.

Reddit makes browsing without account harder and harder. I assume the end goal is a walled unindexable garden like Facebook or Discord.
