A community to organize and discuss the growth of the fediverse as a whole
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!
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!
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:
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.
So what I'm hearing is post coded shitposts on Reddit? Got it!
Im sure there’d be a huge market for Lemmy if you just told people “do you want Reddit without ads or conservatives?”
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
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.
Where Is the shadow part of the ban?
left side: logged in. exists.
right side: private window, not logged in. does not exist.
Interesting trick I should save for future use.
It's just like adarza said.
Left: logged in. My own activity is shown.
Center: logged out, old reddit. It claims that the user doesn't exist.
Right: logged out, new reddit. It claims that the user was suspended.
A shadow ban is where they didn't tell you that you were banned. A shadow banned user could go for years commenting and posting and never realised they were banned. It's only if they check their posts while logged out that they realise.
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
