        Welcome! Links are easy! Use brackets [] to enclose your text and use parentheses () to contain the link.

        [Go here](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/red-velvet-cupcakes/)

        The backslash \ is the escape character. That’s how I posted the above without it turning into an actual link.

        *text* for italics

        **text** for bold

        * text for a bullet point

        Plenty more, but those I the markups I commonly use. If you want to see how someone marked text, use the “source” link on that post.

        And can someone tell us how to paste code like on reddit?

          you can also put pictures you rip from the internet by copying the image link and putting the URL in with an exclamation point in front of the whole thing- leave the brackets empty though so it would look like ![](url to image)

          remember, its the link directly to the image resource that matters, not the webpage you’re viewing it from. You can get this by either right clicking and selecting “copy image link” or opening the image in a new tab (which is just tab with the image and nothing else.)

          Inline code in `back ticks`

          Multiline code
          in 
          ` ` `
          triple back tics
          ` ` `
          

          I don’t know how to escape triple back tics inside a code block, just ignore the spaces

      I keep hoping someone pulls that on me asking for a poem about cows, and then I can pretend to do it, but midway through the poem, it turns out I’m making it about their mom.

          Yes, you may.

          In fields where golden sunlight spills, The gentle cows roam free, With patient eyes and steady wills, They graze contentedly.

          Their coats of black and white or brown, A patchwork on the land, They softly low as sun goes down, A calm and peaceful band.

          In meadows green, they form a line, Their bells a tinkling song, With quiet grace and gaze benign, They move the day along.

          Oh, humble cows in pastures wide, With nature’s rhythm true, In every step and every stride, The earth sings back to you.

      For baking, I recomend King Arthur’s Recipe database.

      The frosting is an american buttercream- IMO sub the shortening for the same amount of butter… (the shortening tastes worse, it’s there to improve the color. Butter gives a slightly off-white. If you’re going to be adding food coloring and don’t care so much about taste… you can use all shortening for very brilliant colors. But, like. I won’t eat your baking.)

      (the reason I recommend KAF for recipes is mostly because they sell flour so the recipes are more or less fool proof- especially for things like GF treats. And if you fall to the ‘less’ side, they have a hotline to help get you sorted. no need to buy their flour, though.)

      Well it got to where it was almost an addiction when I had downtime where I was stationed at. I was commenting on stuff maybe like 50 or 60 times per post. Also probably posting about 80 times for links. I tried the button in my inbox where you could fight it being banned and that was of no hope. Then I tried making a different account then they banned me for using multiples.

        For me personally comments are whatever. The problem is posts. With posts we’re still pretty small here so there’s not a lot of content but the content and engagement are fairly balanced. If you’re posting a ton it may end up spreading the engagement thin. I personally might block someone who’s posting 80 posts a day.

            Bro post all you want… You are NOT getting banned for it here.

            We need traffic and engagement to take this bitch to the next level.

            The problem is because of the small size I personally browse the “Local” feed by “New”which gives me every post to every community on Lemmy.world

            ETA To be clear; I’m still talking about blocking; not banning.

            Also, I did see at least one community had a soft limit on how much was reasonable to post a day, but I forget which one it was 🤔

    I got a permanent ban for quoting a movie, in a post about that movie, because the quote contained a slur. My new account got a permanent ban because I made a joke that wasn’t racist but happened to be about an Indian guy. Reddit sucks ass.

    No stupid questions, but repeatedly asking variations of the same question referencing your ban from reddit might catch up with you eventually.

      Yeah, while these questions have mostly been too ridiculous to be considered, repeatedly asking what precisely warrants a ban sounds like you’re looking to walk that line.
      Just don’t walk the line and don’t consider your wildest Reddit experiences as that line.

      In particular, there is no point in asking these questions, because as we already elaborated on the first post, no one knows what will get you banned from individual communities or instances, since there’s a lot of different humans involved in the decisions.
      But the community is smaller, so if you’re posting good content and interacting with people in a friendly way, the moderators will likely know you and gladly give you the benefit of the doubt.

    Just don’t spam and you’ll be fine, reddit sucks and their broken-ass ban system is regularly abused by bots. They know and don’t give a fuck about fixing it.

    Getting banned from anything on Reddit isn’t exactly a difficult task. Hell I once got banned on some meme sub for something that they refused to tell me what it was lol. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

    That’s definitely not why you got banned, there are hundreds of spammers on reddit and most of them are still posting.

    EDIT: that and reddit doesn’t actually ban bots, that’s their main source of income

    I’m happy you’re here. I’m new-ish to Lemmy too, but I’m pretty timid about posting. There are a handful of users I see posting regularly and they’re absolute pillars of the community. So I say go ham! If anyone gets tired of your awesome antics, they can just mute you.

    All of the moderation here is done by actual human beings who are (mostly) reasonable. If they make a mistake, you can just message them, and they’ll fix it. No one is banned by an algorithm.

    In reality, you can’t actually be banned from lemmy, because it’s a federated platform. You can only be banned from an instance.
