I was commenting on a Japanese sub to guide them to Lemmy and my comment becomes “[ Removed by Reddit ]” after a few seconds. Was this always the case?

You might be able to circumvent an automatic filter by writing ‮lm.ymmel‬ - that should be rendered as ‮lm.ymmel‬

Reddit admins are just protecting lemmy.ml from being further overloaded!

In all seriousness, it’s best to direct people to https://join-lemmy.org rather than any specific instance - the list of instances there is constantly being updated and can be used to spread out the load between different instances. Even so, your post would most likely still have been removed from Reddit, regardless of what specific Lemmy url you’re posting.

https://join-lemmy.org

Unfortunately according to my own experience that page is not exactly welcoming for new users. It’s just not very clear what it is all about and confusing. The community list page on the other hand is easy to understand and the “Subscribers” stat is convincing.

A lot of people feel the same way. The good news is that there is work underway to imporve https://join-lemmy.org as we speak, hopefully new users will start seeing some improvements there soon!
