Reddit didn't remove it, the moderators did. On Shreddit, there's a note:
Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/YouShouldKnow.
It's still available on your profile, I can still see it there. So clearly Reddit didn't do shit.
Edit: While I'm looking at shreddit, looking at the rules in the sidebar, I think it was removed due to rule 3:
YSKs regarding Reddit, Facebook, Twitter or any other social media are NOT ALLOWED.
You should always look at a community's rules first before posting, imo this removal is justified.
- Funny rule to have. I wonder if this is one of the subs Reddit admins took over after the moderator exodus
  
  Eh, I could see people lazily karma farming Social media YSK posts.
- Well now that im looking at shreddit... How did you find that information? All it shows me is options to subscribe and automatically delete my post history.
  edit: Nevermind. Its sh.reddit.com not shreddit.com
  
  Oh right, I didn't realize shreddit is an actual thing. It's what I call sh.reddit.com, yeah.
- Yea but this is a reddit community on Lemmy so everyone i just going to exaggerate literally everything to push the agenda of "Reddit bad."
  To be clear, Reddit fucking sucks, but also these ragebait posts suck too.
- Huh good to know. I didnt recieve any mod messages regarding a reason so figured admins removed it. Didnt know shreddit existed. Thanks for the info!

- There are dozens of us.
  
  Im glad you made it! Takes a little effort to get started but its worth it. And when people start to realize what coporate's doing, lemmy will take off and its gunna be golden. Im so glad my post pulled some people in!
- Hell yeah! Glad your here!
- Welcome! It's a really nice place to hang out

If it was removed a few days later its more then served its purpose. Folks looking at couple day old posts are a trickle compared to that initial rush.

- The title certainly makes it sound like Reddit removed a post from Lemmy and not necessarily about Lemmy lol

Crazy amount of upvotes though? Surprised to see that so many like Lemmy on reddit!
- It was cool to see such a surge in 24 hours. Alot of comments saying its "too hard to use" while ignoring guides and tips the lovely lemmy community provided me when it started gaining traction. Some had valid complaints others just wanted to hate on something new. It was great to see others commenting in support and defending lemmy. And pointing out other users who didnt read the post content on how to get started.
  One of my favorite comments was someone claiming i was a shill for lemmy 😂
  
  Prove right now that you're not a shill for Big Lemmy!
  
  People really are gonna just "too hard to use" their way into an ad-filled, censored, unusable, toxic social media experience huh
  
  It's almost like user doesn't know what the word actually means. Could very well be a young child.
  
  You're obviously being paid by Big Lemmy
- I don't know about you, but my feed has been way more varied in the last few weeks than some months ago, that plus Summit for Lemmy (android client app) I am missing Reddit less and less each day.
  Even when we are in a different echo chamber, I can clearly notice I am not being fed up with an algorithm, everything feels more organic here, is it missing less mainstream communities? For sure, but that will come with the time, I was hesitant when the APIcalypse, but each Reddit update I am more confident the future looks brighter on this side.
  
  I definately feel what you're feeling. My feeds are definitely more organic by default. When ive scrolled too far in a short amount of time, i then have the customizable feed sort options to lean on. Its better, you dont feel like you're constantly fed someone else's agenda.
  
  I feel it too!

At least it lasted that long, every time I post about Lemmy it's so gatekept I get my post taken down within the hour

Of course, Reddit has that "stay away from Lemmy" post first in search results.
- Ironically now there's another "I joined Lemmy and it's awesome"

You really want to entice, drop the 'it's easier to use now' and add other apps like Sync and such. I xamechere cause of 2 things, Sync and old.lemmy.world site skin. Show them that.
- I love Sync and use it daily, but it's probably a bad time to recommend it to new users. Unless ljdawson miraculously returns after his longest ever absence (over a year I think?) the app will stop working once Lemmy 1.0 rolls out, which is slated to be soon.
  
  I'd recommend Summit, Voyager and Boost instead (even when the latter could break too if the dev doesn't show up).
  Heck, at this point Lemmy already delivers a better mobile experience because it actually supports 3rd party apps lol.
- I started using lemmy originally because of old.lemmy. It literally felt like what reddit was 14 years ago. Very nostalgic.

Cute dog
- Thank you! The pup pic and the gsd/lab screaming are both Gunner (aka fun bun). The boxer is Scout (aka sweet pea).
  
  We have a boxer too! Love those goobers.

The fact that you have to screenshot the site instead of linking blah blah blah
80% of Reddit content is screenshots of tweets.
They can't even make a coherent criticism, they just knew they wanted to criticise. Angry Pingu face it is I guess
- Not to mention...80% of that 80% is cropped or slightly modified reposts. r/all is just rotating feed of top posts of the past 5 years mixed in with some political propaganda and current events.

I've seen people say not to recommend boost as the only closed source client
- Yeah someone sent me a article and guide mentioning that info after i posted. I wasnt able to edit the title though. I did edit a link into the body of my post though. I literaly set up my lemmy that day so was a little green about all the info/guides. I was just super excited about sharing lemmy with the reddit community and didnt do enough reaearch. I did edit and comment as i discovered more info though.
  
  I don't think there is anything wrong with recommending Boost - it used to be a very well known and popular Reddit client before the API clampdown. I would wager mentioning it probably gets more traction and recognition than saying "look at all these FOSS apps we've got that you've never heard of" so in that sense it's probably preferable. People on here are just really passionate about FOSS.
  
  You did well, thank you!
