Get. Off. Reddit.
post
Preaching the choir here, but please use it as a motivation to feed the fediverse more. 👌
And related to this, a good use of the fediverse is that, if there's nothing inherently bad about what you're trying to post but your chosen instance is tripping like Reddit, you can just give the finger to it and pick another instance. Or if the community is the one tripping, you can make your own, or look for an already existing alternative.
If doing it hurts, you should stop doing it.
I browse by c/All here, usually open a dozen or so tabs. Pretty regularly I come back to them hours later to read through them and at least one or two has the Error Post not Available message so the issue is present on Lemmy too, probably not to the same degree but still. I haven't put effort in to figure out which kinds of posts get purged but maybe I should.
That might be because of the current issue of users creating an account, make one post and then after a short while deleting post and account. It's often something divisive or clickbaiting.
The discussion has been popping up in a few communities, for example here: https://lemmy.world/post/42127013
