Does reddit ghost your messages in private chats when you post a link?

[slopppyfart]

It has happened about 5 times or more now where I will be chatting with someone else and they seem very interested in what what we are discussing and then as soon as I post a link like an email or a website url so we can continue discussion off reddit they ghost and don't respond again.

This isn't marketing either, just chats about different topics and I suggest it is easier to discuss more on a different platform.

It seems weird they suddenly ghost when the link is posted which makes me wonder if it is some reddit automoderation and they never even get the message.

Could be either filtering or people just being cautious a lot of reddit users avoid clicking links from strangers.

stay away from links, reddit is really sensitive to them and DMing a bunch of people can easily get your account banned, just mention your website name instead of posting the link unless you are promoting someone else through an affiliate link

Well the last time I didn't post the actual link and just did email in the form like: name [at] blah [dot] com.

Also, as I mentioned in the OP, I am not doing mass anything, just irregularly having 1 to 1 chat convos.

My plan is to organically build some kind of community around an interest topic but not getting out of the gate even lol.

From my experience, Reddit doesn’t automatically ghost every private message with a link. However, links can trigger additional filtering depending on the account’s history and trust level. I’ve seen it vary from account to account.

Yes I also never click on links from strangers. You can get malware on your pc this way.

that’s probably a big part of it a lot of people instantly get suspicious when a conversation moves to an outside link.

If your account is new then it may happen.Reddits spam filters are very aggressive. So that's why you send your messages but doesn't appear to another end.

Not only Reddit, but also girls ghost me...

I just put the link in my bio and tell them to check my profile. Works better than sending links in DMs.
