I was commenting on a Japanese sub to guide them to Lemmy and my comment becomes "[ Removed by Reddit ]" after a few seconds. Was this always the case?

You might be able to circumvent an automatic filter by writing &#x202e;lm.ymmel&#x202c; - that should be rendered as ‮lm.ymmel‬

Care to explain for the uninitiated? I assume the code at the front and back are some sort of indicators to reverse the text?

U+202E and U+202C are control characters that change the direction of the text (see also https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1137:_RTL)

In order to be able to type them, you can use HTML entities: https://www.w3schools.com/charsets/ref_utf_symbols.asp

You can write any Unicode charatrer like that, for example a becomes a.
