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

Redlib does that but it’s a game of cat and mouse these days. Facebook fought off web scrapers and while Reddit is much less technically competent they’ll get there too eventually.

We shall see I guess, though unless they opt to only allow access to logged in users it'll still be technically possible to do, especially locally in your own browser. Though people do lose interest over time, especially as platforms lose relevance.
