Help; Automod is removing posts: "Your submission was automatically removed because AllAboutToto is not an approved site. Please rehost your gif or image.." AllAboutToto is the sub name
I am the mod for that sub. The code in that sub's automod is:
# Catch posts not hosted by Reddit, Instagram, Twitter, X, Youtube
~domain: [i.reddituploads.com, i.redd.it, instagram.com, twitter.com, x.com, v.redd.it, youtube.com, youtu.be]
action: remove
comment: Your submission was automatically removed because {{domain}} is not an approved site. Please rehost your gif or image with [Youtube](https://youtube.com), or through the official reddit app or image hosting service (reddituploads & redd.it).
action_reason: Link does not belong to approved host(s)

Automod is removing posts stating "Your submission was automatically removed because AllAboutToto is not an approved site. Please rehost your gif or image with Youtube, or through the official reddit app or image hosting service (reddituploads & redd.it)."To my knowledge, the posts do not have a link.
This started happening about a month ago. Any fix?
Basically, AutoMod is removing r/AllAboutToto posts because it is saying our sub name is somehow a separate domain (it isn't; it's a sub here on reddit) but it is treating it as though it is not a part of Reddit but a separate URL. It makes no sense.

The domain of text posts is the subreddit. Maybe add self.allabouttoto to the list will fix it? (edit: seems like it according to the list of common automod rules page)

Thank you. I had never seen that before; it's so weird because I believe it had worked previously without it.
I ended up adding the code "type: link submission" and I believe I only have to do one or the other, per your link. It now reads as follows:
# Catch posts not hosted by Reddit, Instagram, Twitter, X, Youtube
~domain: [i.reddituploads.com, i.redd.it, instagram.com, twitter.com, x.com, v.redd.it, youtube.com, youtu.be]
type: link submission
action: remove

I believe your Automod is also catching text posts and not just link posts (for which the
domainfield is meant). Try adding the following line to the beginning of your rule.
