I remember that being a thing amongst the initial migration, is it still happening? I rather hate having to append redshit to the end of my searches every time, especially with their anti-vpn bullshit they're on now.

Technically yes and technically no. With Reddit, people just asked questions and received answers for like 20 years. We’re on year 3

Are you 12? I can't take anyone seriously when they resort to name-calling.

Seriously though, Redshit? It is so fucking cringe. It’s ok to type Reddit.

Just as bad as crApple. FFS, just use the proper names.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Your username- by any chance, are you an author?

[-] cattywampas@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

No, just a star wars fan with an appreciation for word play.

I've frankensteined a horrible unsigned extension that's half bad human code and half AI garbage that autoredirects reddit links to their archive.org version.

Does the job, if a little slowly, without this little shit getting in the way:

You could just use libredirect to redirect to redlib

[-] swizzlestick@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

Thanks for the hint on libredirect/redlib, that looks very serviceable.

[-] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

other than redlib as the other commenter said, you could also just write a userscript for violentmonkey. easier to maintain

[-] swizzlestick@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

Also good, thanks.

Not that there's much to maintain, it's a one-and-done thing. This would resolve the unsigned extension though :)

Nobody can move a community, it’s like herding cats but worse because the cat lady (Reddit mods) will ban you for trying.

Best you can do is try to build community here by asking and answering the sorts of questions you want to see.

[-] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

you can. by having a lemmy instance that hosts synchronized content from select subs

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 days ago

That’s just mirroring though. The sub is still under Reddit’s control.

[-] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

that's true, but op wanted to move threads, not communities, for the purpose of better search. for that it's fine

[-] fakeplastic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

It would actually be a really great thing if we could crowdsource a few hundred of the most truly valuable reddit posts because then they could be trivially scraped and put on a site somewhere.

[-] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

especially with their anti-vpn bullshit they're on now.

I've been a happy libreddit/redlib user for a few years now. sometimes an instance has a temporary block but then I click redirect in libredirect and the next instance works

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
