    That’s definitely not why you got banned, there are hundreds of spammers on reddit and most of them are still posting.

    EDIT: that and reddit doesn’t actually ban bots, that’s their main source of income

    I’m happy you’re here. I’m new-ish to Lemmy too, but I’m pretty timid about posting. There are a handful of users I see posting regularly and they’re absolute pillars of the community. So I say go ham! If anyone gets tired of your awesome antics, they can just mute you.

      Well it got to where it was almost an addiction when I had downtime where I was stationed at. I was commenting on stuff maybe like 50 or 60 times per post. Also probably posting about 80 times for links. I tried the button in my inbox where you could fight it being banned and that was of no hope. Then I tried making a different account then they banned me for using multiples.

        For me personally comments are whatever. The problem is posts. With posts we’re still pretty small here so there’s not a lot of content but the content and engagement are fairly balanced. If you’re posting a ton it may end up spreading the engagement thin. I personally might block someone who’s posting 80 posts a day.

            Bro post all you want… You are NOT getting banned for it here.

            We need traffic and engagement to take this bitch to the next level.

    No stupid questions, but repeatedly asking variations of the same question referencing your ban from reddit might catch up with you eventually.

    Just don’t spam and you’ll be fine, reddit sucks and their broken-ass ban system is regularly abused by bots. They know and don’t give a fuck about fixing it.

      I keep hoping someone pulls that on me asking for a poem about cows, and then I can pretend to do it, but midway through the poem, it turns out I’m making it about their mom.

        Welcome! Links are easy! Use brackets [] to enclose your text and use parentheses () to contain the link.

        [Go here](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/red-velvet-cupcakes/)

        The backslash \ is the escape character. That’s how I posted the above without it turning into an actual link.

        *text* for italics

        **text** for bold

        * text for a bullet point

        Plenty more, but those I the markups I commonly use. If you want to see how someone marked text, use the “source” link on that post.

        And can someone tell us how to paste code like on reddit?

          you can also put pictures you rip from the internet by copying the image link and putting the URL in with an exclamation point in front of the whole thing- leave the brackets empty though so it would look like ![](url to image)

          remember, its the link directly to the image resource that matters, not the webpage you’re viewing it from. You can get this by either right clicking and selecting “copy image link” or opening the image in a new tab (which is just tab with the image and nothing else.)
