Yet you give in out of desperation only to find the subreddit is private.

[–] ticookie@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago

As it should be

[–] void404@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

This happened to me more than once during the first day of the blackout ;_;

[–] Lemmington@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

Cached view works (for now)

[–] ChillPill@lemmy.world 51 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So many tech answers on reddit. Hopefully the community here will bloom soon enough

[–] Discoslugs@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Its happening, just slowly.

I'm just meming, I'm not actually mad at reddit

Edit: To those taking this seriously, don't be mad at reddit. Be mad at the asshole running it.

[–] arcrust@lemmy.fmhy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

Chrome has a way back machine extension

I've never actually used it though. Never had a reason till now

[–] JCreazy@midwest.social 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't forget that it wasn't reddit that provided that information, it was a user that submitted the information for free.

[–] Binette@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly! I think that the solution to this issue is to ask more questions on Lemmy. If more people ask, we may be able to get more information without having to type "reddit" after our questions X)

[–] z3k3lon 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There will come a time where we search using lemmy as keyword to find the answer straight away.

Since I left Reddit, I've had a few searches yield very helpful Reddit results. I read them and move on. I'm running an adblocker and I'm not providing value by commenting. I see no problem with this.

[–] _MoveSwiftly@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Whenever that happens, I take a look at the result and bring it here.

I make a post at the relevant community. If it doesn't exist, I make it. I encourage you to do the same. :)

[–] SteelBeard@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

That's a great idea. I'm on board.

[–] speff@melly.0x-ia.moe 19 points 1 year ago

Can just use the cached version. That's what I've been doing. In and out in 2 seconds

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Copy the link and search an archive; the sub me may be down anyways. Also post your solution here. Be the change you want to see

[–] glibg10b@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This automatically redirects Reddit links to their archived versions

[–] glibg10b@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

There's also this, one for Firefox, but if you use Firefox on Android, you'll need to get Firefox Nightly (Google Play)

I know it's a meme, but the way I see it is, giving Reddit a click or two won't really move the needle much.

Really it's about the long-term. If you're on the Fediverse creating content and not on Reddit, eventually those search results will stop pointing at Reddit. That's the real win I think.

[–] Garatron@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there a viable way to google Fediverse content? I’ve not really had any luck with that. Mostly I get only Mastodon content.

Reddit has become yahoo answers to me. Not a place I browse

It's this actually true though? I always had to add Reddit at the end of the search query as it always gave me some shit websites as sources otherwise.

[–] DonnieNarco@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I get this all the time now....hopefully we can start getting our answers from Lemmy instances soon!

[–] Hazen@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Use googles cached option.

[–] sharan@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

If I need info, and info is there, I click.

[–] Theactuallynx@mastodon.nz 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@sharan @Lemmyin if you need the info you could always use a cached version of the site on internet archive or the Google search cache, that way you’re not directing any traffic to Reddit and you still get all the info

[–] sharan@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

The fact that I'm here shows what I believe in, but I'm too old to be disturbed by the fact Reddit gets an occasional click from me.

but then it went private

[–] SickIcarus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Same. There’s a massive difference in clicking for info, and clicking for entertainment.

[–] kraken@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

You could ask lemmy! :D

press shift+ctrl+A or click on archive if you use google.

For anyone wondering, this is a tampermonkey/violentmonkey script.

[–] Lemmyin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nice try. I’ve seen TV shows. This is to get into the C.I.A. workframe mastercode :)

Seriously tho, where do I put this?

[–] memchr@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

user script manager like this one

[–] JWBananas@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago

Surely someone has already written a browser extension to automatically redirect reddit links to archive.[org|is]

[–] Dunkin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

True this, I had an issue using the duckstation emulator and then googled and the whole first page of search hits were reddit posts to a blacked out sub. Grrr.

[–] knighthawk0811@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

but does the link work? it might not. might be private, might have got deleted. i know mine did.

I've seen posts saying is the right thing to just modify your posts so people can still find the content. i suspect those ideas are well liked by Reddit admins. f that. nuke it from orbit. it's the only way.

[–] Lemmyin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

For my part I'm trying not to generate traffic at all on the site. I feel quite powerless in this mess, and my clicks are all the little power I have. Maybe I'm paranoid but if Reddit leadership continues seeing traffic coming in on the site without people accessing the content and, more importantly, their ads, I fear they'll start to "demod" the current mods and install moderators more aligned with their "policies".

[–] hlqxz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It's been so difficult lately with all the subreddits going private. Makes me sad that I can't get help through Reddit anymore. Years and years of QnA down the drain.

[–] turn_to_follow@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I finished watching Beau Is Afraid and immediately looked up the reddit reaction to make sure I wasn't nuts thinking it was awful.

I do that with lots of movies tbh, reddit had kinda taken over the imdb forums. Waiting to see if kbin has the same effect.

Beau is afraid fucking sucks btw

You should post your Beau opinion on !movies@lemmy.world, I think since the movie sub is trying to keep its users on reddit it's been slow to get movie discussion going here lol

[–] meat_popsicle@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That sucks to hear. Joaquin Phoenix is great in practically everything and Ari Aster crushed it with Hereditary.

Maybe it’s a movie that works better on paper than celluloid.

Dispair, sirens of the sea trying to lure you in harmful waters
