A Reddit post promoting the Fediverse that actually gained traction (and Reddit deleted the top comment for promoting Lemmy) (www.reddit.com)

I haven't seen Reddit give so much attention to the Fediverse in a long time. Maybe we can help them and answer some questions.

I bet the fediverse wouldn't censor a post about reddit because the fediverse isn't a bitch.

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

People here censor all kinds of shit they don't like lmao

Reddit took action faster about Lemmy than they did responding to the epidemic of CSAM subs.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 55 minutes ago

Reddit currently has an active and massive beastiality sub. They don’t allow real images, but they have comment threads with discussion and advice. Just as with r/jailbait, people post fishing for the real stuff.

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I left reddit because they kept resisting the removal of subs that directly used the platform to sell CSAM under the guise of a specific niche of porn which normally is legal. Direct contact with reddit to explain why it was CSAM went nowhere.

Welcome here!

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 75 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

How can you look more alien than Zuckerberg?

[–] phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 14 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

He was the inspiration for reddit's logo

[–] x0chi@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

No, the logo is cute

[–] ShadowWalker@lemmy.world 119 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It made me make an account here. I also convinced the group chat to move to signal last night.

Based

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

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?

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 138 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (5 children)

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

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 86 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Reddit is scared. Good job getting the screenshot.

[–] spaduf@slrpnk.net 48 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Gotta be. It was right after I made the edit.

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

actually I think it was mander.xyz for some reason? and it doesn't seem to happen in r/fediverse

no wait, something else is also doing it, midwest.social is also doing it, lemmy.world is clear, infosec.pub is clear, ttrpg.network is not allowed

no idea how Reddit or r/technology chose which instances to ban lol

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 21 hours ago

Knowing reddit moderators, they probably just encountered someone from those instances that disagreed with them that one time.

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?

[–] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

they got me with the propoganda forsure, it seemed complicated was actually super simple, every comment will act like its so hard to swap over or signup when once you do look it up you immediately see why its better at its core

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I never played WoW or anything like that, but aren't there several WoW servers and you have to decide which one to be on when you start the game? People managed that.

[–] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

explaining the fediverse would be you join different servers but can still play together?

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

I still prefer the email analogy with explaining how it works. The WoW analogy is for the people who say "That's too complicated for the unwashed masses to understand." People have been signing up for World of Warcraft going on three decades now, I think they'll figure out lemmy.world vs sh.itjust.works.

[–] sudneo@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Yep, and it's not even fully federated. Different servers have also quite a bit different focus.

I will steal from now on WoW comparison when talking about the fediverse!

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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.

You can try, but you'll probably get flagged

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago (6 children)

U would be surprised what u can do with an account list a proxy list and a tor connection.

Let's fucking go, this is great to see! Remember to be nice to the new users if you see them around.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Ah, a worthy reason to dust off the ol account

[–] MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yep! I'm on there right now directing people to Lemmy

Would if I could but I deleted my account and Reddit has been blocking my connection for months anyway.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 1 points 11 hours ago

old.reddit.com always works for me, even for posts or communities which they force you to log in and/or use the app to view.
