Or made any kind of commentary on it? Or are they depending on being deathly silent to reduce the chance of anyone finding out?

Discussion of Lemmy doesn't seem to be actively stifled, if that's what you mean. https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/ exists

They do have a history of removing threads and posts that get too popular though. I remember several incidents where highly upvoted comments and posts about Lemmy got removed for seemingly no reason.

It's probably impossible for them to entirely prevent discussion about Lemmy so they instead astroturf and try to manipulate the discussion to portray the platform in a bad light. It seems to be an extremely effective tactic, unfortunately for us.

Reddit's obfuscation of upvotes and downvotes is problematic, and makes it trivial for them to manipulate any discussion if they feel like it. Not to mention their ability to just nuke anything they don't like with no repercussions.

Thanks. Wonder about reach—if a post there went viral somehow, if it would be allowed to run its natural course onto r/all

Maybe so, such a small sub, might not have any “defenses” against it haha. hmm but suppose it could show in a trending sidebar at some point if they’re still doing that. Ah, guess we could test whether their threads ever get recommended when browsing similar threads on other subs.
