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…

      That’s how a shadow ban works. You think you’re posting as normal, and you see your posts, but your posts don’t show up for others and your votes don’t count.

        That’s just because the mods who made that sub decided they don’t like the lemmy devs.

          I also don’t like the Lemmy devs because of the nonsense they pull around the topic of the Chinese and Russian governments.

          Still don’t block the people on my subs from talking about it. Because I’m not an asshole, and I don’t have to like everything that gets posted to my subs.
