omg the top comment just got deleted with over 500 upvotes
I think it was when it was edited to include specific links to Lemmy instances, instead of the join-lemmy.org website
I still see the comment on Spaduf's profile, but it shows as deleted in the post
I think maybe the link to lemmy.world is what triggered their filter? because that was edited in
Reddit is scared. Good job getting the screenshot.
Oh crap
Gotta be. It was right after I made the edit.
Let's fucking go, this is great to see! Remember to be nice to the new users if you see them around.
Reddit took action faster about Lemmy than they did responding to the epidemic of CSAM subs.
That sounds right for the company whose CEO was appointed moderator of r/jailbait. This was before you had to accept an invitation to be moderator, but fuck Spez regardless.
Was reading through the thread and holy shit I swear half the comments are anti fediverse propaganda.
I wonder how long till the post gets removed.
Edit: would it be immoral for me to mass bot the thread with AI powered pro fediverse propaganda?

You can try, but you'll probably get flagged
U would be surprised what u can do with an account list a proxy list and a tor connection.
Aside from what Blaze mentioned, that's also not really the kind of publicity that we want. Better to just respond to individual users and encourage them to try Lemmy out.
We should really avoid antromorphizing non-humans. Call them bots, like most of them probably are.
In some spaces, that term is becoming really dehumanizing. People use “bot” to label anything they disagree with.
It made me make an account here. I also convinced the group chat to move to signal last night.
Hey, can you go to /r/Cleveland, and convince them all to move to /c/Cleveland?
And /r/ClevelandGuardians to move to !clevelandguardians@fanaticus.social?
Ah, a worthy reason to dust off the ol account
Yep! I'm on there right now directing people to Lemmy

Just saw your comments there, quite funny
Would if I could but I deleted my account and Reddit has been blocking my connection for months anyway.
They block cookies comrad.
I would help, but I honestly don't have the password anymore. I don't think I signed up with an email, but if I did it was a dummy one. I wish I could help.
Edit: Also, I didn't know about this bridge for Mastodon:
if you want your Mastodon posts to also show on Bluesky then use this bridge https://fed.brid.gy/ you only need to follow the account @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy (~~note: is this a typo?~~ It is not a typo. It will follow you back and make sure to accept the follow) and it will automatically bridge you
the bridge is pretty nice, I would recommend everyone on compatible platforms to use it (Bluesky, and probably any AP microblogging platform, but I've only tried it with Mastodon)
Do you know how I connect Pixelfed to Mastodon too? Or is it automatic and I just do search maybe?
yea it should just be a matter of searching your username, but you need to be logged in to search remote instances (they don't want anonymous requests spamming the network)
what's your Pixelfed username? I can pull it up if you want
Thanks for the info, I'll give it a go. It's great that we can link to bluesky but not necessarily be a part of them.
On another note, don't you think it's a little weird that someone from world is saying to not follow small instances? I'm not sure I understand bringing them up in the first place.

Where is that comment? I didn't see it. Maybe they're thinking back when it was really hard to get new communities federated, but it's not so bad these days, and even the medium sizes instances already have tons of communities already federated.
anyways I think we should've give people too much trouble as long as they're joining the Fediverse lol, they can move instances as they get a feel for it
I've personally had an issue with a world admin in the past, that's why I picked up on it. I don't seem to be having as much issues lately, so maybe they've chilled. It's the advertising part that kind of bugs me for their instance instead of Lemmy in general:
Really if you're telling someone about it, you just tell them one of the bigger, better instances. Don't send them to that "pick a server" thing. I don't know if I'm allowed to link it here, but the name of the software and the word "world" with a period in between is a fine server for both Lemmy and Mastodon.
I went from a heavy, daily reddit user to making half a dozen comments here in a year. All my activity is now over there, outside of search results.
It's by u/Serinus
The idea of picking a bigger server is better for new people, but idk how I feel about them advertising only their server.
The average person hits a server choice and gives up so it probably does help add more people.
but idk how I feel about them advertising only their server.
That's exactly the part. If they had said pick a bigger server, than I would have been 100%.
"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users
Feel free if you have any questions"
@spaduf@slrpnk.net , could you maybe edit your comment to something like
"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users
Feel free if you have any questions"
join-lemmy isn't the best for user onboarding: https://lemmy.world/post/24220536?scrollToComments=true
also what's the best alternative for Mastodon? a lot of people there already tried Mastodon and didn't like it due to UX/UI issues
I would be good to list Mastodon as well as an alternative, and also listing Mbin might be good too? but then maybe you're putting too many choices lol
didn't like it due to UX/UI issues
That's my biggest beef. But I think maybe it's "ugly like a Mazda truck", as in, it's plain and weird until you get to driving it and then it's just simple and great.
That's my hope anyway.
Misskey's probably the most polished feeling, though under the hood it's apparently a total mess.
Honestly I think the answer is BlueSky. For all the problems that people have with it, it's going to be much more successful in getting people off the Nazi platforms. What's more X->BlueSky->Mastodon seems easier than X->Mastodon for most people.
Hell yeah, Voyager. 🤘
I bet the fediverse wouldn't censor a post about reddit because the fediverse isn't a bitch.
People here censor all kinds of shit they don't like lmao
Mods!! This one, right here. Thanks
Frankly I don’t want Redditors here
If there’s a single group of people I hate it’s Redditors. Just fuck them (haha zecks, my wife left me smh, I want this guys wife)
In an alternate universe I would be like a ted kaczynski of anti reddit sending hot packages to the authors of most painful comments
I hope more people with niche interests will come to Lemmy - this is the only use case for this kind of social media for me, and Lemmy's a bit lacking in this regard.
But yeah, I'm not looking forward to those redditors who assume everyone's a cis man and stuff :\
Im sorry to inform you that:
Lemmy is a reddit alternative
What you did right now was very redditor esque
how did you find Lemmy? did you find out through reddit?
ive been here over a year now and I sure did. haven't used reddit since.
if you didn't come here from reddit, I'd be curious to hear where you did come from before making a Lemmy account.
how did you find Lemmy?
via Mastodon. I still mostly use Mastodon (but I follow hashtags so its a little like an un-curated RSS feed in that respect. I've been on Mastodon for a couple years. I also use a couple other Fediverse projects eg Freindica, Bookwyrm and GotoSocial
did you find out through reddit?
no.
mazel tov. but I was asking the other commenter.
A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it's related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).
If you wanted to get help with moderating your own community then head over to !moderators@lemmy.world!
