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

As it should be
This happened to me more than once during the first day of the blackout ;_;
Cached view works (for now)
So many tech answers on reddit. Hopefully the community here will bloom soon enough
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.
Chrome has a way back machine extension
I've never actually used it though. Never had a reason till now
Don't forget that it wasn't reddit that provided that information, it was a user that submitted the information for free.
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)
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.
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. :)
That's a great idea. I'm on board.
Can just use the cached version. That's what I've been doing. In and out in 2 seconds
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
This automatically redirects Reddit links to their archived versions
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.
Is there a viable way to google Fediverse content? Iβve 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.
I get this all the time now....hopefully we can start getting our answers from Lemmy instances soon!
Use googles cached option.
If I need info, and info is there, I click.
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
Same. Thereβs a massive difference in clicking for info, and clicking for entertainment.
You could ask lemmy! :D

For anyone wondering, this is a tampermonkey/violentmonkey script.
Nice try. Iβve seen TV shows. This is to get into the C.I.A. workframe mastercode :)
Seriously tho, where do I put this?
Surely someone has already written a browser extension to automatically redirect reddit links to archive.[org|is]
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.
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.
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".
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.
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
That sucks to hear. Joaquin Phoenix is great in practically everything and Ari Aster crushed it with Hereditary.
Maybe itβs a movie that works better on paper than celluloid.
