Hi all! I used to be a daily r/selfhosted lurker and a bit active user. Since the Reddit saga I thought that r/selfhosted would be one of the first and bigger community to move to Lemmy due to the IT knowledge of all of their users and the sensitivity about self host/privacy/open source, but I see that not only the community is still all there, but it’s rising. :( That really makes me sad. How can we convince the mods there to move people here? Is it allowed to talk about Lemmy on Reddit or do we risk of being banned?

    Some mods are deleting comments/posts promoting lemmy. I made a post in my fav sub about the community in lemmy and the mods deleted it.

      Same, the big 3 communities I host here I made very open posts, not pleading or encouraging people to move even, just “hey, we exist over here if you are curious”. All immediately removed, the mods were having none of that

      I had at least three comments talking about Lemmy removed too. For all I know it was many more than that because I didn’t get any notice or explanation.

      My take is that they’re censoring without even informing people because the fediverse is a real threat to them.
