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?

Will emol.ink work? :D
URL shorteners are generally blocked and for good reason. They obscure the target, which in this case is intentional, but pretty much the only value on a site like this or reddit is to obscure.
How so? I can get bit.ly being blocked in general as it’s commonly known but emol.ink for example is not. For all an unsuspecting reader knows that (emol.ink) could be an alternative to emojipedia.
Can any URL shortener be detected by Automod automatically with technical means, by checking for permanent redirects e.g.?
Or is some poor fella forced to maintain a static list of know URL shorteners the Automod uses? :D
I’m not saying Reddit knows about emol.ink, I’ve certainly never heard of it. But if Reddit admins realize that it is a URL shortener, they will throw it on the blocked domains list too.
Aight, got it.
