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 such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

To be fair advertising Lemmy/Piefed is one of the few good uses of reddit
When I still had an account, the links that were fully spelled received little or no views.
When I would break them with spaces, join-lemmy. org or even the "L e m m y", they would then be seen and upvoted.
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.
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.
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.
I just tried it on my own subreddit and neither the post nor comment was removed so far.
Then it might be because I have posted that link several times. Interestingly, my other comments are not removed, only the comments with the link.
Oh well. I will find some other way to remove some money from reddit's wallets. Bunch of pedophile protectors.
The whole internet is manipulated by google. Bing and other US tech so yes, reddit does remove , shadownban, ban info which they dont agree with.
In the name of a security and to protect you reddit , google , Facebook will remove information. Its only to protect you
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...
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.
