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.

    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.

      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.

        Question for you - pretty soon here, I’m going to use PDS to edit all my comments with info about why it’s edited and redirection to the fediverse

        I have some comments or posts that are guides, which I will have migrated over to Lemmy. Can I mass edit all my comments with PDS, then go back into reddit to select few individual posts/comments, and add a link to the specific Lemmy guide? Sorry if this doesn’t make sense lol

          If you’re doing it manually, yes.

          But you can also filter by subreddit with PDS and do a different edit if your guides are concentrated in a given sub.

          PDS doesn’t append, tho, so yeah, if you’re doing it for each one of them, you’re probably have to do it manually, yea

            Yea, so what I was thinking was edit all of them with PDS with a template I have, then go back manually to specific posts/guides and add links to the new guides. Sounds like that would work then, thx :)

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

      lеmmу

      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!
