News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Feel free to provide the links, I'll update the post
Thanks, just updated the post
Well you still have the direct links, so it doesn't make a difference.
You can use the Wayback machine addon to easily get archived links https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wayback-machine_new/.
And a bookmarklet for archive.today:
It does, buy giving people choices?
It reminds me of people who added Invidious links back in the day, but over time the individious instances would go down, preventing people from knowing which content was initially linked.
With the way this seems to works, can't we just create thousands of links to let's say Lemmy.world from all the other instances, to boost the LW domain authority? Shouldn't all the crossposts links be taken into account in this calculation?
And if yes, then do 3 links here really make a difference?
Yes, the archive.today links have that risk, but not the archive.org ones. Also, you can manually modify archive.today links to show the original link.
That might be one reason lemmy.world has a relatively high domain authority.
Your 3 links won't make a difference. Starting a trend and spreading the word will.
Can this be improved? Can we post link to LW on every existing Lemmy instance to increase its authority?
In this case, what prevents Reddit from creating their own network of fake instances, with bots users, and posts Reddit links everywhere there to increase their own authority?
I'm no SEO expert, but search engines penalize websites for gaming the system. I've already read some suggestions that Google is not sure what to do with the fediverse because it already looks like spam, and that may be why it doesn't show up often in search results. That's beyond my knowledge.
