I tried commenting on two videos yesterday and included links to topic-related websites, and they were deleted.
I checked the TOS and they caution about including inappropriate links in replies, but those weren’t that.
It seems the channel can include links but users can’t. Haven’t tested it much past that point either.
yeah I didn't even link any of them, just mentioned the joinfediverse.wiki if at all was enough to get it buried. I really dislike their transparency about what is allowed and what isn't.
That would be recognized as a link
You mean Lemmy dot world. Does that get filterered?
I don't know if that would get filtered out, but I assume it would since it has "lemmy" in the text.
What do they have against motorhead. They clearly don't like to gamble...
They really try to play with the dead man's hand.
Writing the exact link will make it a link, just like it did here. Then that link gets recognized by the filter and taken out. Gotta go joinfediverse dot wiki or something like "just Google the Fediverse"
@Drunemeton @DmMacniel Nope, as someone who upload gameplay videos can tell you, you need to verification yourself before they will allow to post links in description. So all links provided by Youtuber are because they are trustworthy or just gone through the verification process. I am lazy to do and my country is not supported for monetization so no deal for me to go through = no outside links in description. You can try it for yourself.
How does one verify themselves? I have a Google account that I use and I just checked the settings in YouTube. No “verification” option was listed.
@Drunemeton https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171664?hl=en and here googled how to put links for new creators guide https://influencermarketinghub.com/clickable-links-youtube/.
Perfect. Thank you!
Many comments with links will get anyway without checking as a matter of precaution. In general, you just shouldn't post links even if you know they're safe.
