If you don't like reddit, stop linking directly to it. Doing so makes them show up at the top of search results.

You should use archive.org or archive.today links.
The best way to influence the Domain Authority metric is to improve your site’s overall SEO health, with a particular focus on the quality and quantity of external links pointing to your site.
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:
javascript:void(open('https://archive.today/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)))FYI, if you’re worried about archive.today going down and references being lost, you can manually leave in the original URL by adding https://archive.ph/o/ in front of any URL, after you archive it. IE: https://archive.ph/o/https://sh.itjust.works/post/26060585 will redirect to the archived page, if it exists.
Please consider using the crosspoint feature to post identical content across the Fediverse. It helps avoid spamming people's feeds with each individual occurrence, and creates crosslinks that facilitates people to see where all the conversations are, spread across the various communities.
I did use the crosspost feature. Something's wrong with it?
Hrm, I see... yes that's odd bc e.g. this post is aware of the other one, but the reverse seems not true, and also these posts show up twice in my feed, sorted by Hot (do they not for you? Maybe try sorting by New and look around that timeframe) So I guess I don't know as much about cross-posting as I thought!?:-P
Fwiw, here are a couple of examples I was basing my thoughts on: example 1 example 2. They both have that "cross-posted to" notation, but it could be bc they are merely URL links, or perhaps bc they both happen to be on the same instance - and maybe cross-posting to different communities across multiple instances doesn't work quite the same way?
Working with the Fediverse is not "just like email" - this kind of thing continues to baffle those unaware (in this case, it seems all of us:-).
How about we just stop talking about, referring to it, mentioning it or using it.
I moved on last summer and never looked back ... I just exclusively post, meme, share and talk to people on Lemmy now and have never looked back in any way at all.
The best way to migrate is to just cut ties and move on. Think about it ... how did you start with the 'old site that shall not be named'? ... you just started using it until it became normal. We should do the same here. Just use Lemmy or whatever fediverse service you like until it becomes normal and we can forget about whatever came before it.
stop talking about what?
exactly
Y'all can hate me if you wish but I just downvote every reddit link.
As someone who is primarily a poster here, let me just say, if you're going to downvote for a reason like this, please say that's why you're downvoting if that's what you're going to do, at least the first time or so.
I post the least controversial stuff possible, yet still get random downvotes. I have no clue why. I don't know if you don't like the actual content, if you hate the source, if you hate the comment I made, if you hate me personally, or if you're just a maniac that downvotes every single post. I want to post what makes my readers happy, but if you don't tell me what it is you don't like, I have no way of knowing!
I don't post any Reddit content, but I, for better or worse, have to primarily source things off Facebook. I repost it so none of you need to go there. I add what I feel is valuable commentary when needed. I answer your questions on the content so you don't have to go to the primary source you don't want to participate in, but I share it solely so I am sharing the primary source. I can't get much of the content I get (from animal rescues that have not the volunteers, time, or money to host their own sites, so they use what is free and easy and has the biggest audience because they rely on charitable giving) from anywhere else, and I will explain that to you if you still feel the need to downvote me every time anyway.
If you're going to downvote someone for a non-obvious reason like a really bad take, poor manners, etc, I feel you should tell them why if you would like to actually see a change in behavior or maybe find out why they do what they do.
Me too.
Also, stop referencing those shit bags in any form in the Fediverse.
eg: this group. Duh.
That's why I don't post source link in my post on !balatro@lemm.ee !nokotan@ani.social
How about not spamming the same goddamn thing 3 times.
I thought crossposting is encouraged?
