    Hey redditor have you ever heard of this platform that starts with a “L” and ends with a “emmy”? Its like reddit but more freedom! There are more than 1 servers called “instances” and each can talk to each other unless the instance owner decided to ban another instance. Go to join-l3mmy(dot)org (replace the 3 with e) and just find a random instance to get started! If sign up page have circle spinning indefinitely, find another instance or change the username since either the instance is either overloaded, disabled sign up, or the username you’ve chosen was taken.

    There! Feel free to copy this text!

      This looks way too sketchy. If you saw this, would you actually do what they said? I know I wouldn’t. It reeks of viruses and adware. :p

        I mean you could also tell people to “google it”, but redditors are too lazy to do some googling.

          Actually it’s not as easy as yout make it sound.

          If you Google “Lemmy” you get images of the guy from motorhead. I’ve even done site searches with specific instances and a lot don’t show up at all. Beehaw, sh.it, and kbin.social were very difficult to find with Google.

            Maybe it’s just me, but if someone told me to do some googling about a social media platform, and some dude’s name pops up in the search, I’d probably redo the search and add some context words like “Lemmy Platform” or “Lemmy Reddit Alternative”.

          Lol, that is certainly true. But isn’t reddit still allowing people to say the word “Lemmy” on its own? I still see it a lot.

        You could tell them to go to lemmy.world instead since that instance is stable, has open registration and can handle a lot of users.

      Just type out lemmy, it isn’t blocked if you sneak it in replies. I’ve been doing it for over a week and gotten replied to as well, so no shadowban here yet.

    This is actually hilarious that Reddit is so threatened by Lemmy that they are actively trying to intimidate people from posting a link. What a joke.

    Are people just now discovering that Reddit has run on full censorship for a long time?

      it was “useable” as long as Reveddit and Undit were there , but sadly they died first with the api threats now … its unbearable.

      I just thought it was specific mods. Usually when i make reddit comments defending Israel they get silently deleted.

    Are you sure it just isnt a warning specific to that subreddit for other reasons? They do have rules against certain types of links so I could see there being a reminder popping up when any link is detected.

    Though tbh, not our problem anymore, good riddance

      On kbin, if you click the little image icon next where it says the number of comments, it will show the article image. The image it’s showing in your screenshot is from the text of the post.

        I meant, post the image of your comment on Reddit so that the automod can’t block the text.

        the image you posted doesn’t have the image that you showed there, but it could just be a weird discrepancy between kbin and lemmy.world

          Another dude explained it above, kbin is weird you need to press another button to see it how lemmy users see it.

          So it’s kbin being partially shitty with lemmy.

              ye what people forget is Kbin isnt “lemmy” kbin is kbin with “lemmy support” same for mastodon support but Kbin is its own thing like lemmy.

      They feel threatened because blackouts actually had them user drops and people migrated to lemmy they fear they loose the grip on reddit.

      Ya, that’s sort of a problem with them trying to block lemmy links, there’s >500 lemmy domains to choose from, and even if you just blanket-ban domains that use the word lemmy, you’re still looking at a ton of links to block individually.

    I wonder how that will be justified, and how the common redditors react. They’ll prob just fight amongst themselves actually smh…
