The irony is that Google is treated as an evil enterprise that only wants your data and yet we all willingly gave Reddit all our data and information while talking about how evil Google is.
I've gone looking for a few solutions to issues and the results were Reddit threads. Thanks for the cache trick, I'll keep that in mind to hopefully continue to avoid Reddit. Ideally we have a better solution in the future that does not result in all our data being held hostage.
I'm still a day hiker, usually up to 15 miles or so, but the Four Pass Loop is definitely one I'd like to explore as well. It is more about committing to buying the gear than anything else. I would be interested in your experience if you do snag a pass.
Hate to repost the same thing, but this might help in that regard: https://sh.itjust.works/post/70143
It's not really an extension, rather its a GreaseMonkey script, but it does simplify the process quite a bit by redirecting a community to your local instance. I've found it has simplified my workstream. I'm sure there will be extensions and other utilities to come in the near future.
I also found this GreaseMonkey script that simplifies the entire process by allowing you to redirect any community to your local instance: https://sh.itjust.works/post/70143
This really simplified my workstream for adding new communities. There is also a script to reformat the site to look more like old Reddit if you are really wanting to feel at home. Some great work being done in that community.
I love seeing all the old subreddits showing up on Lemmy as new communities. I hope to see this community grow into an active community that is truly owned by the community!
This is awesome and removes a lot of the stumbling that I've been doing in the federated world. Thank you!
Thanks for the detailed explanation. I found something similar after I had posted this message.
Definitely some learning to do as to how the federated system works with Lemmy.
I have also noticed that communities advertised in new communities don't also show up on other instances. This seems especially true of communities originating on lemmy.world (at least for me).
Cheers!
Your comment tweaks my interest as an outdoor person and an engineer. =)
I've seen this happening elsewhere. All growing pains.
That said, I am curious as to the thread you were responding. Sounds interesting. =)
Former Redditor. For those that are partaking in the Reddit walkout, with no plans on returning, is there additional information available for the datahoarding effort? The amount of information stuck in Reddit is overwhelming and we need to free that information for ingestion elsewhere.
I actually was searching for a solution to an issue today and the solution was on Reddit, which was set to private. I would love to help ensure this information is made available elsewhere.
Nice! Thanks for the info! I'll get something set up today to start contributing.
