EDIT: @mindbleach@sh.itjust.works shared something that might help to circumvent this shit:
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
Basically, add those to whatever you feel that might be filtered out, then remove the parentheses. The content inside the parentheses is invisible, but it screws with regex rules.
What's a reddit?
Oh, yea, that dumpster fire I walked away from 2 years ago. It still exists?
Sadly, yes.
Not gonna lie, I was only there to encourage people to get off Reddit.
Make sure to wash your eyes afterwards if you’re using the redesign or app.
Old reddit all the way through!
That's at least a good reason to be there!
So what's up with "not gonna lie"? I've been hearing it for over a decade, and I hear it from known liars, people I trust, and all the shades of in-between. This is the first time I've seen it on Lemmy.
If someone I trust says it, I trust them less.
If a liar says it, I know they're about to lie. It's the "I'm not racist but" of liars.
I worked with a woman for years that said "not gonna lie" roughly 30 times a day. I liked her, I just hated that so I could be biased.
I realize this is completely derailing the post but do you have any insight on this phrase?
What the fuck is a Reddit?
Some really shitty site. Going downhill day by day. To the point even your typical user is looking for alternatives.
Sounds really complicated who wants to use that trash!

I straight up got my account of 2 years deleted for advertising Lemmy lol, nothing of value was lost that day
RIP ;_;7
They're really trying to repeat the fate of Digg, aren't they? People would advertise the shit out of Reddit in Digg, to encourage users to move. Well - perhaps we should test if history does repeat itself.
I was always one of the people that cycled an account every few months. Wish I didn't so that I could have used one of those tools though.
Perhaps using this picture instead of writing the link in plain text will help prevent the Reddit bots from detecting that one is recommending Lemmy there:
if that's the captcha to get in... i'm out.
Oh, no, I should have explained! That's something to help post the link hopefully without the Reddit bots detecting it. I've edited the post.
We need to figure out a way to recruit with to out outright posting it there.
Text as pictures, word-of-mouth, bugging people in Youtube referring to Reddit to use Lemmy instead, coded languages...
youtube
I am far from elitist in most anything I do or say. I try to be inclusive when introducing others to a topic, offer information freely and at any pace they can accept it, and generally enjoy the most mundane parts of life so long as they’re done in a healthy way. I say all of that to preface the fact that I cannot tolerate most users on YouTube. They're, by and large, just awful.
I do agree with your idea, but it physically hurts me to envision lemmy with YouTube comments.
Yes, YouTube comments are a cesspool and reading them makes my IQ drop ten points each time. It's probably already in the negatives by now.
But we could/should exert some pressure on youtubers mentioning Reddit. Such as Francis John. Encouraging the Reddit→Lemmy movement in the same way as the Twitter→Mastodon one, for roughly the same reasons (except that instead of Musk, you got someone who praises Musk in reddit. Like, not even the piece of shit, but the fly around the piece of shit).
Lemmy's structure encourages better commenting than the drive by, engagement floated style of YouTube.
But you are not wrong either.
It’s just bots enforcing this, images should work.
probably worth a try but I have to imagine reddit's algorithms can read the text in images
Yea, but that requires considerably more processing than plain text
True, I'm not sure if they ocr every image or not, maybe they don't
I'd be surprised if it bans comments for images with Lemmy.
I think the bigger problem is how to post without appearing like spam to the human community.
Honestly all it took for me was "reddit with no ads" and I was on faster than you can say Lenin
Whenever I see someone asking about or speculating that users need somewhere else to go... I direct-message them and give them links to https://feddit.org/search and encourage them to make a login on some instance...
So far it doesn't seem reddit is snooping on direct messages ... yet
I moderate r/spezholedesign and have set up AutoModerator to promote Lemmy on all posts. I have made a post directly linking to lemmy.world and nothing has happened. I've never gotten shadowbanned or suspended
I have no idea why I was shadowbanned and you weren't, then. Perhaps account age and/or karma had a role? (My account was five days old, and barely any karma.)
thats why, it was too new. reddit is very hostile to new accounts, simply thier filters assume people are a potential bot/spammer, if they havnt been on the site that long. thats why people even using some proxies, anti-detect browsers get banned asap. also commenting on a sub, that auto removes your comments, for not having enough "karma or aged account" also flags your account. the question is, is visiting a sub you were previously banned in without commenting, will that also trigger some kind of flag? (i think so), if you notice they already have gone through at least 3 major purges in the last 3 months(of "bots/spammer/evaders) i was on the recieving end of the 3rd one. it was definitely noticable in DEC, as thier were less bots ragebaiting people.
That's probably the reason. My account is 1y 4m old and has 32K Karma. They don't ban high karma users that fast since it would sharply reduce the content on the site.
Any suggestions on what I can do with a 12 year old account? I tried using it for the first time in two years to hype local protests.
I am permanently banned from r/politics
Got shadow banned years ago for sharing the link to the εxodus privacy analysis of the Reddit app. There is a reason why they keep trying to pressure their users to use their app. It's farming their personal data.
That's interesting. I haven't been banned for mentioning r/RedditAlternatives yet. I'm honestly shocked that sub still exists.
The exact rules of what links are banned varies from subreddit to subreddit. After posting a comment, I usually check in a private browser window to make sure it wasn't filtered.
you can also check if your shadowbanned/ incognito, if you look at any redditors profile. usually with typing in reddit dot com /user/[your account name]
Try lem my dot (world/ee/ect...) make it look strange but people will get it.
I tried to post about Lemmy this morning in a 160k people sub : it’s sitting at two like and i can post and engage elsewhere without consequences. I don’t think they shadowbanned me but i suspect that the post wasn’t shown to much people. It was a polite post and i am used to way, way more engagement, especially on the weekends.
but i suspect that the post wasn’t shown to much people
That's shadowbanning, fyi
