I think the issue is you are posting too early for Reddit, you should be commenting for the first week at least.
Essentially, the coarse-grained spam-filter assumes that anyone that has a whole bunch of posts ready to go the day they sign up is a bot spammer. Even here on Lemmy, if you sign up then immediately try to copy and paste a post 10 times to different communities, you will get reported and banned for spamming.
The principle behind it is like any social space online or offline: if you are a legitimate new member, you will start on the fringes and slowly settle in, from introducing yourself to a few members, attend events, to then asking questions, before making any influential speeches or going into a leadership position. Anyone trying to fast track that will be met with suspicion from members.
Reddit and Lemmy are similar in a sense. you start as a lurker, become a commentor, then you are well-adjusted enough to post.
Again that is my issue with reddit, there is a lot no one tells you they just expect you to know
Redit wants you to use the site in a super specific way that is one disconnected from the way most people use it and two not obvious to new users
I think reddit still wants you to use the site like a link aggregator despite that format dying and mot people seeing reddit as a social community focused site.
The reason reddit beat dig despite dig being a more true to form link aggregator is because of it's community features
Well, here's hoping you have a better time with us on Lemmy! My Reddit account is 8 years old, but I stopped using it and have been on Lemmy full time for 2 years now.
In many ways, Reddit has evolved into what it is. Much like biological evolution, there's all sorts of things about it that are vestigial, or poorly designed, or don't really make sense if you don't understand natural selection. Its also become a publicly traded company so in recent years the quest for profitability has been rapidly transforming it in new and specific ways that only make sense from that perspective.
