EDIT: Maybe a false alert after all, my thread is now visible to all. Still weird that it stayed “deleted” for hours though.


I believe Reddit is now automatically deleting threads about Lemmy (or containing links to Lemmy instances)? A thread I made on r/Save3rdPartyApps got deleted with no explanation within seconds of me creating it and I don’t believe it’s the sub’s mods who did that.

(However, I can see it while logged in. So it’s a kind of shadow-deletion)

Can anyone confirm whether referencing Lemmy and/or an instance gets your thread insta-removed?

    I had all my lemmy comments removed a few days ago before I deleted my account. I knew this from /r/ShadowBan.
