My only content on reddit nowadays is pretty much only posting about lemmy and the link join-lemmy.org, to drive attention to lemmy.
I have noticed that my lemmy comments are removed. This happens on several accounts.
Can some of you please try, and let me know if your post is also removed?
That would be hilarious. Fuck them.

Yes, reddit has a lot of stuff to censor or shadowban people. It’s been happening for years.
No, you should have stopped using that dump years ago.
To be fair advertising Lemmy/Piefed is one of the few good uses of reddit
This kind of thing goes way back. I mean you’ll get a lot of content deleted on most web forums, but the one universally verboten thing, above all, priority zero, until the end of time, is: no. fucking. recruitment. to. competing. forums!
If you ask a lot of web forum owners how their site got started, more than half of them will tell you “well there was this other forum but their server went down for 3 days and people needed a place to go.”
Communities are portable. Reddit knows this. Every site manager knows this.
I just tried it on my own subreddit and neither the post nor comment was removed so far.
Then it might be because I have posted that link several times. Interestingly, my other comments are not removed, only the comments with the link.
Oh well. I will find some other way to remove some money from reddit’s wallets. Bunch of pedophile protectors.
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. Also subreddit mods will sometimes remove such posts.
It depends. I got perma-banned from one particular sub for scrubbing all my old posts with an info blurb about the fediverse back when reddit nuked all 3rd-party APIs. Mods accused me to trying to “steal users” – as if people can’t have logins to reddit and other websites… sheesh.
None of the other subs I cleaned my post/comment history in this way banned me however. But I am certain Spez and his minions/investors (fuck /u/spez) doesn’t want people to start using alternatives.
Dude, that is the absolute truth. After I got banned in October, I spent days using logins on several different devices I had and deleted ALL my posts (back to 2010) and got the last years worth of comments (the prior 14 years were of course made unavailable when Reddit locked down the database to prevent AI from scraping the site…) and then tried to delete the account.
Tried to.
Reddit won’t even let users delete their accounts.
If that’s not ginning the numbers of users to look good for the investors, I don’t know what is. Point of fact, I’m probably not the only person to notice this behavior and methinks it’s part of why Reddit stock is lower than the market says it should be and they’re reassessing “user metrics.”
I’ve certainly not been silent online about the fact that I was permabannned yet cannot delete my account.
Reddit fuckiness, for sure.

They seem inconsistent about it, because one can easily find posts about lemmy on reddit. But people have periodically reported this. It is possible that lemmy posts are triggering their generic spam filters.
It might be on the subreddit mods.
You can set up the auto mod to automatically nuke and hide posts with certain phrases or links; and most will use Reddit’s spam list just because it’s easy.
Definitely a possibility, especially since reddit replaced a lot of mods after the protests. Reddit does distinguish between “removed” and “removed by reddit” these days but I don’t think everyone knows the difference.
My approach is to stay on both platforms, make a good-faith effort towards both, and work in Fediverse links, when possible.
Seems to fly pretty well under the Radar O’Reilly…
When I still had an account, the links that were fully spelled received little or no views.
When I would break them with spaces, join-lemmy. org or even the “L e m m y”, they would then be seen and upvoted.
Yes, this is what happened. All my comments with the “join-lemmy.org” link had only 1 view and 1 upvote (mine). This was happening in several of my accounts (each account for a different device). I found that weird, so I checked the comments from a different account and surely enough, they were removed.
Your account as a whole is probably flagged by now.
Best way is to break up text with invisible markdown. Something like []?(putanyoldslophereaslongasitstartswiththehttpbit)
(Remove the question mark) In the middle of a word won’t show up visibly, but fucks with word filters something fierce.

If you read the comments, they’re less conspiratorial than you’re making it sound. Many have tested this out and others have said it seems like it depends on the autobot.
Why wouldn’t they remove them? Because that is unfair? :D
Could be, but the thing to keep in mind is where you’re posting. It could be the reddit site, or it could be mods of a particular subreddit doing it via automod rules. If you have a subreddit you mod, post it there and see what happens, as removal by automod and removal by reddit are clearly notated differently both on the comment and in the modlog.
Would if I could but they banned me recently
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
The lack of shadowbanning and presence of a modlog are part of what make Lemmy intrinsically better than reddit.
