[Meta] It would be great to have the subreddit automatically link to this community

I noticed that some of the mods here are also the mods of r/experienceddevs. That subreddit is quite active. Perhaps it would be effective to have automoderator throw a sticky on every post there, just saying welcome to r/ExperiencedDevs, please follow the rules, etc and at the bottom: Did you know we have a Lemmy community? With a link here.

Last I checked, all Lemmy links and any mention of lemmy is censored site-wide on Reddit. They going to be particularly defensive about it until they do their IPO too.
- That is absolutely not the case. I have posted many links to lemmy there. The only thing I still do on Reddit is discussion related to Lemmy and fediverser, there is nothing being blocked and I afaict am not being blocked.
  
  I must be imagining my shadowban then.
- r/Android has their Lemmy link in their sidebar, and they're one of the most successful Reddit->Lemmy transitions we've seen so far
- The conversations here might be different and deeper, with the many Linux fans here.
  
  Of course. People that left and came here because of the API stuff are (IMO) inherently smarter people with a predisposition toward FOSS technologies.
@snowe@programming.dev what do you think of this idea?
