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…
According to some users on r/redditalternatives some people have already been shadowbanned for posting lemmy links.
I wonder if a link shortener would avoid that
Good question, but idk the answer
I posed this over a week ago as a test, and nothing seemed to happen.
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.
Says deleted
That’s just because the mods who made that sub decided they don’t like the lemmy devs.
It says “that comment is missing” for me.
