Does anyone have any life hacks on how to link to a Lemmy post from Reddit? (lemmy.ml)

I heard Reddit seems to shadowban posts and comments it finds that link to Lemmy. I use both sites (I have my reasons) and was wondering if there was a way anyone could advise where I can link to Lemmy posts that are important/relevant in particular Reddit discussions without fear of getting the boot.

If they're just looking for the word 'lemmy' in the URL, link to the version of the post from an instance that doesn't have 'lemmy' in. E.g. for this post, instead of https://lemmy.ml/post/19458783, link to https://piefed.social/post/208919 or some even more obscure platform.

I wonder if they are just looking for lemmy in the url? Dunno.

The KDE AutoModerator links the Lemmy community on every post and it's still going fine. Not sure if because it uses AutoModerator it gets a free pass.
