You must log in or register to comment.
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.
Would it work with instances without Lemmy in their name (like Beehaw)?
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.
Can just view Googles cached version (hidden in the 3 ellipses) then you never leave Google.
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)
Or this if you use F-droid.
It’s based on Firefox and allows you to install addons without using the Nightly version
Does that work with Mull?
Yes. Just like with Fennec F-Droid and Firefox Nightly, you can install any extension by following these steps: https://www.ghacks.net/2020/10/01/you-can-now-install-any-add-on-in-firefox-nightly-for-android-but-it-is-complicated/
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? I’ve not really had any luck with that. Mostly I get only Mastodon content.
Give it time. Reddit has only been the “go-to” for a few years. Before that it was random forums. As the fediverse picks up, it will become the go to. Especially considering a lot of the tech enthusiasts are moving here.

And this means we’re not giving them clicks or anything? It’s basically as if we’ve never visited in the first place?
I get that “no ads no tracking”, but does the proxy give them a view? I don’t want them to get any traffic from me, proxy or otherwise.
Thanks for sharing

Reddit has become yahoo answers to me. Not a place I browse
I get this all the time now…hopefully we can start getting our answers from Lemmy instances soon!
Use googles cached option.
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.
