Reddit admins deleted all but 2 of a Lemmy dev's 120 comments in the Apollo thread - Lemmygrad

As you can see on Lemmy dev parentis_shotgun [https://old.reddit.com/user/parentis_shotgun/overview]’s profile, they were very active plugging Lemmy and answering questions in the Apolo dev’s thread [https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_call_with_reddit_to_discuss_pricing_bad/?sort=top&limit=500] about Reddit’s API pricing, with 120 total comments made in that post. They were well-received, with 3 of their comments getting over 400 upvotes. However, reddit admins must have noticed that reddit is bleeding users to Lemmy, because all but 2 of parentis_shotgun’s 120 comments (one about Beehaw and one about Microsoft) in that thread are removed. Conclusion: We need more Lemmyposting on reddit so people know to join Edit: @dessalines@lemmy.ml [https://lemmy.ml/u/dessalines] posted [https://lemmy.ml/post/1127265] about it

I mentioned yesterday that a Lemmy dev was busy plugging Lemmy in the Apollo thread about :reddit-logo:'s API pricing. The reddit admins r/apolloapp mods went and deleted 118 of their 120 comments:

:reddit-logo: knows its days are numbered, their IPO later this year will fall flat on its face

Edit: Someone @ImOnADiet on Lemmygrad says it was just r/apolloapp mods

      It's hard to say, they used to count every tab as an active user so at some point we had "thousands" lol. It kinda feels like it's been the same amount, some leave some join.

        Wow, it looks like https://lemmy.ml/ is much more active now. Only 586 users online currently, but there were well over 600 earlier (and Lemmy.ml has passed Lemmygrad on https://join-lemmy.org/instances to take the #1 spot)
