If a topic is in any way controversial, there’s a good chance it will get removed, when I’m sure the same content wouldn’t get removed on Reddit. I know it depends on subs and instances but I mean more generally, and for example AskLemmy vs AskReddit. Reddit seems to have more leeway for things, whereas Lemmy doesn’t and seems harder on censorship. Not only that but they remove things even when they’re not controversial such as when I just asked a question about savory fruit and sweet vegetables that got removed. They also give no reason at all for why things get removed nor any notice of its removal until you realise later. It happens so frequently that I wonder if this post will get removed too for some reason.
I see, I guess the bot also has its own problems sometimes. Anyways, the problem indeed was your spam in the comments section. As I mentioned in the parent comment, I don’t only take the title and the body of the post into account, but the behaviour in the comments section as well, which wasn’t well as you can see in the photo above. This was ultimately spam or nonsense, therefore I decided to remove the whole post. In further posts, make sure to include them in the body of your post instead of spamming the articles in the comments section, editing a post is a feature in Lemmy. As for the lock, that was a missclick.
