But for reasons I ended up paying for a month of a Pro plan on a URL shortening service to only find out I didn't need to for what I needed, so now I've got a limit of like 1k links on a custom domain LMAO

So if it'll help, DM me a comm you want a "cloaked" link to to spread around on Reddit and I'll send you a link on a custom fresh domain you can throw around

Is reddit filtering out lemmy links or something? There's already a lot of domains to choose from

There's definitely something going on. Whenever I add a Lemmy instance URL that isn't obfuscated somehow, like replacing the periods with commas or (dot), then my comment gets no likes or responses, whereas a very similar comment in the same thread without a link does.

It seems to down rank it in the algorithim, if not outright shadow remove them.

It doesn't surprise me. They're losing users left right and centre
