A community to organize and discuss the growth of the fediverse as a whole
EDIT: @[email protected] shared something that might help to circumvent this shit:
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
Basically, add those to whatever you feel that might be filtered out, then remove the parentheses. The content inside the parentheses is invisible, but it screws with regex rules.
The exact rules of what links are banned varies from subreddit to subreddit. After posting a comment, I usually check in a private browser window to make sure it wasn't filtered.
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
Three-ish years ago, my comments kept getting eaten by shitty regexes, and I threw my hands up and started placing that after every fucking vowel. It worked everywhere except the few subs so pants-on-head stupid that they had a secret maximum comment length. I just. I don't. Fuck some moderators, y'know? Some people cannot be trusted with the tiniest bit of power. Misery multipliers.
Related unicode shenanigans: inhibit symmetric swapping, pop directional isolate, zero width non-joiner, zero width space. I have more I'll keep in reserve.

And odds are that the admins are basically running some glorified version of AutoMod, so fucking with their regex would work nicely. I'll try this next account, thank you! (Also adding it to the OP)
Interesting, I see’s it
(Believe it or not I actually wouldn’t have checked if you hadn’t mentioned)
Spent longer than I'd care to admit, searching that site for some other characters... before realizing it just printed the literal sequence of text you typed in.
Try lem my dot (world/ee/ect...) make it look strange but people will get it.
Good, I was getting fed up with being told over there that Canadians are useless and can't make a difference... this just tells me they're worried because we ARE making a difference🍁
Woah...Reddit is anti-Canada? Honestly Reddit has always given me bad vibes, and from the sounds of things it's just getting worse...
Not sure where they're all coming from, but there's this group who are there just to harass Canadians and they've been noticeably growing in numbers. One recent post was a very detailed, well-written plan about how the US is going to take over Canada, step by step. So it's not just small-time nonsense anymore. It's bad.
I tried to post about Lemmy this morning in a 160k people sub : it’s sitting at two like and i can post and engage elsewhere without consequences. I don’t think they shadowbanned me but i suspect that the post wasn’t shown to much people. It was a polite post and i am used to way, way more engagement, especially on the weekends.
but i suspect that the post wasn’t shown to much people
That's shadowbanning, fyi
Reddit is a horrible place
That zero-width hack doesn't seem to work:
len("Le()mmy")
8
len("(Lemmy)")
7
Wait how high am I? The example on top returns a length one higher than the example on bottom, because it has a non-printable character in there right?
If it weren't working your code wouldn't count an additional character on the first string.
Anyway, this is the character., as it seems that deleting the first parenthesis also deletes the ZWJ.
Yeah we don't need Reddit to advertise Lemmy. I don't use reddit and reddit is obviously guarded against competitors since they're a corporation. I guess discord would be a better way to advertise Lemmy since it's not direct competition. So I guess post Lemmy links there
