      Linking directly to reddit helps them show up at the top of search results. Use archive websites.

      The person who created the “List of Active Reddit Alternatives” is a dev who helped work on saidit.net. They deleted the post themselves and quit being a mod of that redditalternatives sub; due to their disgust with reddit and many of the users on it.

      That subreddit is not trustworthy now. I recall someone sharing evidence of content they’re censoring.

        As much as I’m happy with the current userbase of Lemmy, thinking that a 33 upvotes post will have an impact on the ranking of Reddit seems unrealistic. Of course of people want to provide archive links I would add them next to the Reddit one, but the trade-off doesn’t seem worth it.

        A few people still use it to promote Lemmy, none of the posts got removed.

        Most recent example from 3 hours ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1fc8p7g/reddit_alternative_with_similar_user_interface/

        What might have happened in the past is when people were posting about other subs removing pro Fediverse posting, but that’s the general anti brigading policy.
