Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM me (lemmy.world)

I don't know how long or well it'll work, but so far I was able to evade the initial "no URL shortener" Reddit filtering with it.

But for reasons I ended up paying for a month of a Pro plan on a URL shortening service to only find out I didn't need to for what I needed, so now I've got a limit of like 1k links on a custom domain LMAO

So if it'll help, DM me a comm you want a "cloaked" link to to spread around on Reddit and I'll send you a link on a custom fresh domain you can throw around

There's definitely something going on. Whenever I add a Lemmy instance URL that isn't obfuscated somehow, like replacing the periods with commas or (dot), then my comment gets no likes or responses, whereas a very similar comment in the same thread without a link does.

It seems to down rank it in the algorithim, if not outright shadow remove them.

Reddit won’t show you that your comment was removed by a mod and shows removed comments on user profiles (unless they had to be nuked for legal reasons). If you suspect you’re shadow banned or if your comment was quietly removed you have to check for that from a separate account in that comment thread directly.

you could probably also just open that on a private tab right?

Reddit makes browsing without account harder and harder. I assume the end goal is a walled unindexable garden like Facebook or Discord.
