In the months since I deleted my Reddit accounts and joined Lemmy, the lack of user base growth has made it clear that we need some users to stay on Reddit as a means of shepherding more users over on an ongoing basis. Otherwise, Reddit simply got what it wanted: less users who make a fuss about how it manages its platform without losing users en-masse.
In doing so, however, does Reddit shadowban posts that mention or promote Lemmy? Googling mentions of Lemmy on Reddit mostly brings up posts from around the time of the blackout, suggesting that mentions of it since then have been suppressed. Before I return to Reddit to promote Lemmy, does anyone know for certain one way or the other?
I cant say for sure but it would make sense that they did a regex or something. We could go around that the same way spammers get around spam filters. By writing L3mmy for instance or something else entirely.
I think links to world dont work at all (just a rumor I heard) so we could use link shorteners.
I’m sure people will stampede and trample each other on their way to try out a website that uses spammers’ tactics for promotion
Oh you mean like every other successful business? Yeah, you‘re probably right. Nobody will use it.
ah yes, all those successful and well respected businesses selling V1agra, this is the model we should all look up to
Could make use of Unicode lookalike letters (е and у in this case) to write Lemmy as Lеmmу.
