Lemmy has hard coded censorship. It can be disabled via the code, but irrc not via config. It was a large source of criticism, even 3 years ago: https://linuxreviews.org/Lemmy
Are there any instances that you know of that disable the censorship? I already got my fill of cybernannies on Reddit.
Edit: My alt on sh.itjust.works can see the censored words, and it defederates with much fewer instances than lemmy.ml. Seems like migrating over there is the best choice.
Edit 2: I think I’ve finally figured it out based on what my sh.itjust.works account shows:
If you’re on a censored instance, all words will be blocked no matter what
If you’re on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a censored instance, that comment will still show up as removed
If you’re on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a non-censored instance, the comment won’t be censored
When I’m on my sh.itjust.works profile, the comment by @Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network isn’t censored, but mine still is. So, the censorship gets you both coming and going - no censored words can make it into a censored instance, and no censored words can make it out either.
I’ve just edited all of my scripts to point to my sh.itjust.works profile instead of lemmy.ml. Wish there was a way to migrate comments and posts over, but no biggie.
Has anyone made a multi-Lemmy yet? Where all of your posts and comments from all of your profiles can show up in one place?
(also, what’s the formatting for double-spacing after a list?)
I’ve noticed that a few of my comments wouldn’t actually post. The word for when you commit Sudoku (suicide) seems to be on the no-no list. I also wanted to comment about a weapon known by a two letter designation (AK) and that wasn’t allowed either.

Considering that the list of words contains ones that a NSFW/porn instance would probably want allowed, my guess is one of those.
It’s not Lemmy, but you could join us over on kbin!
I tried a few days ago, but every kbin instance I went to requires an email to sign up. Maybe I’ll try again with a throwaway email.

I need to test this
Fuck, shit, ass, bitch. Let’s see which words get removed if any
Pretty sure that’s not it. People are saying removed as a joke. It’s a filter for slurs, not swears.

Looks like I can say bitch just fine. Is it my instance? Or maybe because I’m on Liftoff and not Jerboa?
It may be your instance - your comment shows as “Looks like I can say removed just fine” to me. I may be switching to lemmy.ee it seems.
Edit: turns out my alt on sh.itjust.works can see them fine, so I’m migrating my account over there.
Lemmy is growing more irritating with shit like this.
Do me a favor and reply with the B-word. Maybe I can see it because it’s my own post.
I really do think it’s your instance, but here we go: removed
Yep, your comment shows up as removed for me. Thanks.
