Rather than telling Reddit users to migrate, share links to Fediverse posts to drive them here
The more people see the engagement, the more chance of them asking "what is that?" It won't be long until the apps are better, and links to articles could be less likely to get suppressed than migration memes.
I can only speak for myself, but I only saw Mastodon as viable after I started being exposed to the content there..
With Fediverse, you could see the exact same post with different links generated from different instances, so theoretically you could bypass the filter by using obscure instances to share the post link, assuming they're just filtering links via domain name.
Does it really? Well, I guess that settles that debate.
Edit: just checked in an incognito tab. Yep, it was definitely removed. That's hilarious. Reddit is scared if they are spending developer time removing links to their competition.
That’s how a shadow ban works. You think you’re posting as normal, and you see your posts, but your posts don’t show up for others and your votes don’t count.
So it looks like this comment was shadow removed, but I can still interact with people outside this one comment, so it seems my account wasn't shadowbanned, but the definitely shadow removed the comment. I didn't even realize it was removed.
Interesting that they would put it on one comment, maybe it's a new tactic. My mod friends and I were shadow banned and couldn't see each others posts or comments at all in any sub on the affected accounts, even from unaffected accounts.
I also don't like the Lemmy devs because of the nonsense they pull around the topic of the Chinese and Russian governments.
Still don't block the people on my subs from talking about it. Because I'm not an asshole, and I don't have to like everything that gets posted to my subs.
Yeah I end up having to report about 10 threads a day to reddit for report abuse spam because of this, they report it as hate speech when people talk about the blackout positively, trying to get people banned to silence them. The only way to prevent that is report each case of it to the admins so they know it's a targeted attack. What these assholes are ACTUALLY doing is just making more work for the moderators that care if their members are banned over some dumb shit.
It's been one week since spez looked at me Cocked his head to the side and said, "I'm angry" Five days since I joined Lemmy Saying, "Get your API together, come back and see me" Three days since the living room I realized it's the IPO’s fault, but couldn't see it through Yesterday, Spez was blocking me But it'll still be two days 'til he says he’s sorry
Oh, probably like -5 days. I'm sure they'd just be blacklisting domains, though. Linking to smaller, lesser-known instances that don't literally have "Lemmy" in their URL might work, though. Especially if you don't re-use any particular instance too frequently.
That's how I got here! I saw a thread mention that people should migrate to Lemmy, and if I hadn't seen a half-dozen lemmy.world posts on reddit earlier in the day, I wouldn't have given it a second thought.
I think that’s a good mood. Migrating for me was a bit overwhelming at first because I didn’t know how to navigate and I was trying to do everything all at once. Little bites would be a better way to take it in
I would love to pick one maybe two subreddits to focus on taking the top posts and just reposting them to the communities here, but I’m kinda waiting on community consolidation to get fixed so I don’t waste time posting to empty communities. Also if there was a Reddit to Lemmy post migration script or something to automate it that would be awesome
Absolutely, I'm not saying to spam anything. However, if every single post or comment with a fed url is deleted by automod, there should be a workaround
If every single post or comment with a fed url on a particular subreddit is being deleted by automod, then it's because the mods of the subreddit presumably set it that way, and their wishes should be respected. Not respecting the wishes of subreddit mods was exactly how reddit got itself into the mess it is now in.
If anybody wants to share a link to kbin/Lemmy so people join, don't send the official Lemmy or Kbin page (or the official page of any federated platform) nor the link to any given server. Share instead links to the Join the fediverse wiki, fedeverse party, etc that have lists of servers and also have posts explaining anything a person needs to know to start an account on any decentralized platform/server.
I agree with the idea but as someone pointed out, let’s not spam it. Also the idea works well to show that content is being generated and encourage on lemmy that would help new users join and engage
