Reddit didn't remove it, the moderators did. On Shreddit, there's a note:

Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/YouShouldKnow.

It's still available on your profile, I can still see it there. So clearly Reddit didn't do shit.

Edit: While I'm looking at shreddit, looking at the rules in the sidebar, I think it was removed due to rule 3:

YSKs regarding Reddit, Facebook, Twitter or any other social media are NOT ALLOWED.

You should always look at a community's rules first before posting, imo this removal is justified.

    Well now that im looking at shreddit... How did you find that information? All it shows me is options to subscribe and automatically delete my post history.

    edit: Nevermind. Its sh.reddit.com not shreddit.com

    Im glad you made it! Takes a little effort to get started but its worth it. And when people start to realize what coporate's doing, lemmy will take off and its gunna be golden. Im so glad my post pulled some people in!

    I always assumed a 1984-esque corporate information campaign was possible. It's just weird that it's here already...

    Yeah it came quickly and quietly. Corporate consolidation, equity firms, and billionaire money have completly dismantled the internet. I feel like it started around the time net neutrality was overturned.

    If it was removed a few days later its more then served its purpose. Folks looking at couple day old posts are a trickle compared to that initial rush.

    For anyone confused. Funbun is my new account. Figure id take others advice and let go of the internet identity I've held on to the last 20 years. My first post on lemmy was about this reddit post. With the death of the traditional internet and rise of open source federation it seems like a good time.

    RIP rtardbunny, hello funbun.

    1st post on lemmy

    Crazy amount of upvotes though? Surprised to see that so many like Lemmy on reddit!

    It was cool to see such a surge in 24 hours. Alot of comments saying its "too hard to use" while ignoring guides and tips the lovely lemmy community provided me when it started gaining traction. Some had valid complaints others just wanted to hate on something new. It was great to see others commenting in support and defending lemmy. And pointing out other users who didnt read the post content on how to get started.

    One of my favorite comments was someone claiming i was a shill for lemmy 😂

    I don't know about you, but my feed has been way more varied in the last few weeks than some months ago, that plus Summit for Lemmy (android client app) I am missing Reddit less and less each day.

    Even when we are in a different echo chamber, I can clearly notice I am not being fed up with an algorithm, everything feels more organic here, is it missing less mainstream communities? For sure, but that will come with the time, I was hesitant when the APIcalypse, but each Reddit update I am more confident the future looks brighter on this side.

    At least it lasted that long, every time I post about Lemmy it's so gatekept I get my post taken down within the hour

    Of course, Reddit has that "stay away from Lemmy" post first in search results.

    You really want to entice, drop the 'it's easier to use now' and add other apps like Sync and such. I xamechere cause of 2 things, Sync and old.lemmy.world site skin. Show them that.

    I love Sync and use it daily, but it's probably a bad time to recommend it to new users. Unless ljdawson miraculously returns after his longest ever absence (over a year I think?) the app will stop working once Lemmy 1.0 rolls out, which is slated to be soon.

    I'd recommend Summit, Voyager and Boost instead (even when the latter could break too if the dev doesn't show up).

    Heck, at this point Lemmy already delivers a better mobile experience because it actually supports 3rd party apps lol.

    I personally never liked the way Voyager looks, though I know it's popular. Boost is solid but I can't live without gestures at this point. Keeping an eye on Summit, though. It's still lacking some features and customization options I'd like, but the dev seems very active, responsive and open to user requests so definitely worth tracking.

    The fact that you have to screenshot the site instead of linking blah blah blah

    80% of Reddit content is screenshots of tweets.

    They can't even make a coherent criticism, they just knew they wanted to criticise. Angry Pingu face it is I guess

    Not to mention...80% of that 80% is cropped or slightly modified reposts. r/all is just rotating feed of top posts of the past 5 years mixed in with some political propaganda and current events.
