I can’t answer affirmatively. However, today there are numerous posts on Reddit about the fact that they are considering charging money to access certain subreddits. As you would expect, most of the top comments in those threads are not happy and there are numerous comments along the lines of “I wish there were Reddit alternatives” or asking if there are any.
I did not see any responses mentioning Lemmy or the Fediverse, and I looked for it. Now, to be clear, I did not read every comment and every reply in every one of those threads, so it’s possible Lemmy was mentioned and I simply didn’t see it. But it certainly wasn’t prominent in any of those threads at the time I checked.
I remember a while back Reddit removed comments about Lemmy. Like if a subreddit recommended migrating to Lemmy, it would suddenly disappear.
Still happening or nah?
Instead of using Imgur, I’ve been uploading images to posts on Lemmy and then linking to those on Reddit with my comment.
Haven’t had any issues doing that.
The downside to this is, if the instance shuts down, those images won’t be available.

/r/Redditalternatives mentions Lemmy a lot.
What might happen is mods removing those posts because it’s “self promotion”
?
Think they meant Lemmy. Not sure how they messed up that hard though.
Yes, fixed.
