Rather than telling Reddit users to migrate, share links to Fediverse posts to drive them here (lemmy.one)

The more people see the engagement, the more chance of them asking "what is that?" It won't be long until the apps are better, and links to articles could be less likely to get suppressed than migration memes.

I can only speak for myself, but I only saw Mastodon as viable after I started being exposed to the content there..

Good idea! I just posted a link to r/politicalhumor.

Aaaannnddd...autodeleted by bot. Links to other sites are forbidden.

Try using a url shortener and hiding the url behind the highlighted text link thingy like this

Might be enough to trick the bot, might not be. Only 1 way to find out

Nah, that's called spam at that point.

Don't make the Fediverse something that only has a reputation for spamming reddits.

Link to fediverse posts where it's allowed and makes sense to do so.

Don't link to fediverse posts - even using tinyurl workarounds - in places where that activity isn't welcomed by the mods.

Absolutely, I'm not saying to spam anything. However, if every single post or comment with a fed url is deleted by automod, there should be a workaround

If every single post or comment with a fed url on a particular subreddit is being deleted by automod, then it's because the mods of the subreddit presumably set it that way, and their wishes should be respected. Not respecting the wishes of subreddit mods was exactly how reddit got itself into the mess it is now in.
