Rather than telling Reddit users to migrate, share links to Fediverse posts to drive them here (lemmy.one)

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..

I wonder how long it'll take before Reddit starts shadowdeleting anything containing links to Fediverse websites?

[–] ahriboy@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One week

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.

But that might also confuse people.

url/link shorting websites that used to be used to hide rickroll links all the time would probably work to get around that

They probably are already

[–] dilligasatall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

According to some users on r/redditalternatives some people have already been shadowbanned for posting lemmy links.

I posed this over a week ago as a test, and nothing seemed to happen.

[–] FlaxPicker@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Says deleted

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

That's just because the mods who made that sub decided they don't like the lemmy devs.

[–] Regna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

It says "that comment is missing" for me.

[–] fuzwold@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wonder if a link shortener would avoid that

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Good question, but idk the answer

[–] greatwhitebuffalo41@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

I have an automod that links to all the other places my sub is on. It's getting mass reported everyday. I have to manually approve them all.

[–] falkerie71@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

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.
