figaro@lemmy.world to Android@lemmy.world – 260 points –

Props to the mods over there!

Not gonna link the names, but for real, these guys belong in some kind of hall of fame. Stay strong, fuck /u/spez.

edit for future people: It looks like the android subreddit made a whole server! It can be found here: https://lemdro.id/

For the record, I know this because I'm going through my old comments and turning them into ads for lemmy ๐Ÿ˜…

Just a heads up

Go to reveddit.com and throw your username in there. Check if your comments aren't being shadow removed.

Not much you could do about it, tho, but I noticed that the comments I edited to make an ad for Lemmy were all removed. They show up for me, but for other users it shows as "removed".

Reveddit lets you know that.

You could just use Unicode lookalike characters instead. Guarantee they aren't scanning for that:

lะตmmัƒ

That doesn't actually say "lemmy." They're Unicode lookalike characters, not ASCII. CTRL+F for the word lemmy, that instance above won't show up.

I've had the suspicion about my comments ever since I've posted kbin ads (only twice). Timely comments fitting the thread and zero reactions while the one I replied to gets 1000s of upvotes.

Oh well, it'll be over next week anyway. Prepare for the wave!

Just checked mine. Apparently, some of my edited comments were removed, while others stayed up (with identical content).

Subreddits where my edited comments (in new) were removed unconditionally:

  • /r/linguistics
  • /r/nottheonion
  • /r/memes (only commented in that subreddit for a short time frame, so whatever auto-removal there is might only apply to edits to old comments)
  • /r/eu4 (lots of removals, but 1 edited comment survived, no idea why, it's neither the youngest nor oldest edited comment there)

Partial removal subreddits:

  • /r/facepalm (some edited comments survived, at least one was reversed, didn't notice a pattern, might be based on user reports or depend on which mod sees it)
  • /r/pettyrevenge (edits of comments younger than about a month were removed, edits of older comments survived)

Also, looks like some subreddits that were private when I ran the edit script (like /r/MadeMeSmile) have since gone public, so I'll have to re-run Power Delete Suite.

Of all places, /r/amiibo removed my edited post because they banned the term kbin.social. That was a jawdrop wtf moment for me lol.

I hope you're not doing this manually. Power Delete Suite can also do edits.

Doing a great service for the people. Reddit doesn't deserve to keep content from people given how poorly they've treated the community as a whole

Agreed. I'll use powerdeletesuite to edit all my posts/comments to this when Sync for Lemmy's out in a few weeks:

Reddit has killed off third party apps and most bots along with their moderation tools, functionality, and accessibility features that allowed people with blindness and other disabilities to take part in discussions on the platform. All so they could show more ads in their non-functional app.

Consider moving to Lemmy/kbin, two better and compatible alternatives to reddit (picture explains how) that many subs and users have moved to: sub.rehab

Reddit Sync's dev has turned the app into Sync for Lemmy (Android) instead, and Memmy for Lemmy (iOS) is heavily inspired by Apollo.

You only need one account on any Lemmy or kbin server/instance to access everything; doesn't matter which because they're all connected. Lemmy.world, Lemm.ee, vlemmy.net, kbin.social, fedia.io are all great for example.

The picture might be a bit out of date since beehaw defederated lemmy.world and multiple instances have defederated lemmy.ml
