The /r/piracy link to lemmy /c/piracy hit the reddit frontpage with 7K+ updoots!

Welcome to Lemmy!! We are called Lemmings over here! Or whatever you want really. I may have drank too much beer.

Agreed. New Reddit is terrible. I find having to flip to different pages to get to deeper replies particularly annoying.

It's weird how people smell babies, and are like "smell that baby! It has baby smell!"
But at some point they stop. I'm 41, and nobody ever lifts my shirt and smells me.

Isn’t .world the most populous instance? Hmm…
This is interesting. I get the impression that some admin/mods truly don’t understand how the Fediverse operates. They ban one (or a few) instance name(s), but there are so many more that they might not even recognize as Lemmy links, which get past the radar.
At the same time, there are fears here that .world could become disproportionately powerful compared to other instances, due to its high user count.
So in a way, Reddit blocking traffic to .world while permitting links to other instances can benefit us all. Smaller instances gain users, which is an important step toward balancing things out and keeping any one instance from becoming too powerful. Thanks, Reddit!
(I recognize the irony of having a .world account. I wasn’t aware of its standing in Lemmy when I made it. I am also still learning the Fediverse myself and don’t know how to transfer my account to another instance yet.)
I just read another comment (not sure if in this thread or another) saying that lemmy.world and lemmy.ml links are banned on Reddit. No idea if it's really true or not though.

Sorry to hear

Instead of manually editing the URL you can use an add-on like this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-reddit-redirect/

I didn't realize Weird Al's line about "me too'ing like some brain-dead AOL'er" was referencing Eternal September, he would make that reference.

Nice. I was being lazy, I was thinking of writing my own add-on or tampermonkey script, but I didn't get around to it. I should have known there was already one out there.

Same. I was on Kbin, was denied at .world (not safe enough), then landed on lemm.ee.

to the new users:
Ahoy, maties

Yep! Took two tries as well. I got banned from one because literally my second comment pissed off the mod! Im already loving Lemmy.
