Yes, reddit has a lot of stuff to censor or shadowban people. It's been happening for years.
Can some of you please try
No, you should have stopped using that dump years ago.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Also subreddit mods will sometimes remove such posts.
It depends. I got perma-banned from one particular sub for scrubbing all my old posts with an info blurb about the fediverse back when reddit nuked all 3rd-party APIs. Mods accused me to trying to "steal users" -- as if people can't have logins to reddit and other websites... sheesh.
None of the other subs I cleaned my post/comment history in this way banned me however. But I am certain Spez and his minions/investors (fuck /u/spez) doesn't want people to start using alternatives.

Dude, that is the absolute truth. After I got banned in October, I spent days using logins on several different devices I had and deleted ALL my posts (back to 2010) and got the last years worth of comments (the prior 14 years were of course made unavailable when Reddit locked down the database to prevent AI from scraping the site..) and then tried to delete the account.
Tried to.
Reddit won't even let users delete their accounts.
If that's not ginning the numbers of users to look good for the investors, I don't know what is. Point of fact, I'm probably not the only person to notice this behavior and methinks it's part of why Reddit stock is lower than the market says it should be and they're reassessing "user metrics."
I've certainly not been silent online about the fact that I was permabannned yet cannot delete my account.
Reddit fuckiness, for sure.
Yes, this is what happened. All my comments with the "join-lemmy.org" link had only 1 view and 1 upvote (mine). This was happening in several of my accounts (each account for a different device). I found that weird, so I checked the comments from a different account and surely enough, they were removed.
Best way is to break up text with invisible markdown. Something like []?(http://putanyoldslophereaslongasitstartswiththehttpbit/)
(Remove the question mark) In the middle of a word won't show up visibly, but fucks with word filters something fierce.
Glad I left Reddit, yes it was very recently, but I'm pretty happy with what's going on here!
They seem inconsistent about it, because one can easily find posts about lemmy on reddit. But people have periodically reported this. It is possible that lemmy posts are triggering their generic spam filters.
It might be on the subreddit mods.
You can set up the auto mod to automatically nuke and hide posts with certain phrases or links; and most will use Reddit’s spam list just because it’s easy.
My approach is to stay on both platforms, make a good-faith effort towards both, and work in Fediverse links, when possible.
Seems to fly pretty well under the Radar O'Reilly...
Could be, but the thing to keep in mind is where you're posting. It could be the reddit site, or it could be mods of a particular subreddit doing it via automod rules. If you have a subreddit you mod, post it there and see what happens, as removal by automod and removal by reddit are clearly notated differently both on the comment and in the modlog.
I just tried it on my own subreddit and neither the post nor comment was removed so far.
The lack of shadowbanning and presence of a modlog are part of what make Lemmy intrinsically better than reddit.
