Maybe got caught up in other spam. I saw a similar post to your description (someone promoting their own game) posted to about 6 different communities with a short time frame. Maybe yours looks similar or came on a day mods were dealing with a lot of similar content. I don’t see why indie devs can’t promote their own stuff but get not wanting companies to make their own comms and spam other instances with it.
Yeah I get it too, and looking at the full community list, I don't see a single company-related community, so it's probably the reason.
If that is indeed the reason though, I think it should be more explicit in the ToS so that people don't do the same thing; no need to give mods more work than necessary
It’d be worth finding out. Otherwise there’d be no lemmy equivalent to games having their own sub for community interaction like on reddit. Which is useful for players support as much as it is for the devs promoting it.
So, as it turns out, no it's fine, I just happened to do it all wrong. It has been resolved now!
