My only content on reddit nowadays is pretty much only posting about lemmy and the link join-lemmy.org, to drive attention to lemmy.
I have noticed that my lemmy comments are removed. This happens on several accounts.
Can some of you please try, and let me know if your post is also removed?
That would be hilarious. Fuck them.
When I still had an account, the links that were fully spelled received little or no views.
When I would break them with spaces, join-lemmy. org or even the “L e m m y”, they would then be seen and upvoted.
Yes, this is what happened. All my comments with the “join-lemmy.org” had only 1 view and 1 upvote (mine). This was happening in several of my accounts (each account for a different device). I found that weird, so I checked the comments from a different account and surely enough, they were removed.
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. Also subreddit mods will sometimes remove such posts.
It depends. I got perma-banned from one particular sub for modifying all my old posts with an info blurb about the fediverse back when reddit nuked all 3rd-party APIs. Mods accused me to trying to “steal users” – as if people can’t have logins to reddit and other websites… sheesh.
None of the other subs I cleaned my post/comment history in this way banned me however. But I am certain Spez and his minions/investors (fuck /u/spez) doesn’t want people to start using alternatives.
I just tried it on my own subreddit and neither the post nor comment was removed so far.
Then it might be because I have posted that link several times. Interestingly, my other comments are not removed, only the comments with the link.
Oh well. I will find some other way to remove some money from reddit’s wallets. Bunch of pedophile protectors.
My approach is to stay on both platforms, make a good-faith effort towards both, and work in Fediverse links, when possible.
Seems to fly pretty well under the Radar O’Reilly…
They seem inconsistent about it, because one can easily find posts about lemmy on reddit. But people have periodically reported this. It is possible that lemmy posts are triggering their generic spam filters.
It might be on the subreddit mods.
You can set up the auto mod to automatically nuke and hide posts with certain phrases or links; and most will use Reddit’s spam list just because it’s easy.

Yes, reddit has a lot of stuff to censor or shadowban people. It’s been happening for years.

To be fair advertising Lemmy/Piefed is one of the few good uses of reddit
