I still use reddit for purposes ranging from getting solutions to pastimes. Same for discord. There are a few communities on it that I need to be connected, most notably dev related.
What suggestions would you guys make? Are there any bridges/frontend I could use to get more privacy?
Already looked up privacyguides to no avail for my specific use case. You can save your time by simply not interacting with any post you don’t like, since you wouldn’t know if the poster made a good-faith attempt to find info and couldn’t find it.
For me, rarely do I need to ask a question and if I do it is usually too hard and I get nothing anyway.
It’s amazing that your already know the result to your future questions. I don’t, since I’m human.
You take me wrong. Not saying your question is a bad question. You ask what I do when I have a software dev question or other similar questions.
Software in particular but for many topics a web search leads you to the answer. If not that, then a more particular search of Wikipedia or alternativeto.net for example. Lot of these searches lead to familiar places some of course Reddit included though not that common for really good software dev answers. Software stuff is very well documented this way too. Source code, documentation, discussions … literally anything. I generally work my way back. In the end one can just read the source though we all try to avoid that.
You asked about a bridge. Search is the bridge. If I actually needed some direction from someone else I would find a specific forum or the actual dev community for that specific piece of software but only after I had put in the up front work.
So my answer was a serious one. Encouraging a way of thinking.
