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.
Are you 12? I can’t take anyone seriously when they resort to name-calling.
Go away, spez
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.
Your username- by any chance, are you an author?
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
Thanks for the hint on libredirect/redlib, that looks very serviceable.
other than redlib as the other commenter said, you could also just write a userscript for violentmonkey. easier to maintain
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.
you can. by having a lemmy instance that hosts synchronized content from select subs
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
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.

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