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.
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:
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
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.
You can't save them. Whoever is willing and mentally agile enough to look for alternatives will find us. Honestly, at this point, I'd be glad if especially the folks commenting on Reddit's mainstream subs did not join Lemmy and capture it with their boring, antiquated, views and extremely repetitive quips.
I'd imagine in that particular case it felt like spam. If someone came through here and was named Nick_From_Nike and only posted in threads related to Nike and only positively about Nike, I feel like many would quirk a brow.
Are we seeing shadowbans with established accounts that don't have lemmy in their username? Considering r/redditalternatives is still going strong, seems unlikely.
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.
Good, I was getting fed up with being told over there that Canadians are useless and can't make a difference... this just tells me they're worried because we ARE making a difference🍁
Yeah we don't need Reddit to advertise Lemmy. I don't use reddit and reddit is obviously guarded against competitors since they're a corporation. I guess discord would be a better way to advertise Lemmy since it's not direct competition. So I guess post Lemmy links there
I just got shadow banned for commenting on a political meme literally 'welcime to Trump's america' boom eleven year account shadowbab that day I think I got reported. oh well, what a dumpster fire site. I should've seen the writing on the wall when they banned third party apps. God knows how much data they've collected on me.
anyways happy to be here permanently is there a list of the top communities here?
