Reddit spam filters are blocking dev.to

When I started writing on dev.to I tried to promote my work a few times with Reddit as I did in the past with other resources.

All my posts are always blocked when they have dev.to link, like this one https://www.reddit.com/r/github/comments/fjjiyn/github_actions_when_fascination_turns_into/

Others, not dev.to related, are fine, like these ones:

To me, it seems like whatever comes from dev.to is blocked by Reddit. Is it just me or? What is your experience?

Was replying to a "Chat" message on Reddit, and when posting a link to a DEV article, it blocked because of the link. I had to change it from https://dev.to/whatever to dev DOT to/whatever. Very dumb. Reddit is stupid.

Yes, having the same problem. There also seems to be a lot of spammed accounts on dev.to which are not being filtered or flagged, so this could also be a reason why!

I am having the same experience on the /r/golang subreddit trying to share my go tutorial series.
