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

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 make like 10 accounts before i found one that worked for me. Luckily i can log them all into sync for lemmy and switch between them when im doom scrolling so i can doom scroll the same content 10 times before bed!

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

Truly the real reddit experience

But not .world or .ml? I got an account in both and I didn't know those places were disliked until I started getting automatic bans only for being in those instances.
Anyway, that's why Lemmy is so good, just figure out later where you wanna go. The first thing to really understand is that one Lemmy instance is similar to Reddit while another instance is also similar to reddit but all instances are independent of each other and Lemmy is not reddit at all.
You can have a Lemmy purely focused on sex stuff while another might be about painting or maybe another is owned by a church or a bakery. The Bakery might like the church and the sex stuff. The church one might only be federated to the bakery and painting one. Its not just that an instances can have many different channels, but each instance can have channels with specific focus. Or even an instances for your local diy business or a 18 year old who rally wants us to see what's in between his legs. Lemmy is definitely far from what reddit is.
