Unfortunately Reddit became such a database of niche information it’s damn near unavoidable when it seems to comprise most of my search results nowadays.
I redirect from reddit to lemmy in my main web browser. I wish there were some sort of proxy so I could read reddit without that information being lost - but that’s exactly the sort of service the API changes have killed. Fuck them for what they did to reddit.
archive team runs a distributed effort to scrape and archive all of reddit, it gets uploaded to archive.org, so at least a large amount of it is accessible through there
Well that’s good at least but ideally I’d like some way of automating it like through an extension. I try viewing an answer to a question on reddit, and I get redirected to somewhere that stores the answer without giving reddit any traffic.
