I posted about that here and forgot < https://lemmy.world/post/896361> but today when I checked cloudflare analytics it showed about 1000 pageviews in last 24 hours. Looks like some people are using it so just wanted to let you guys know that it works, no ads. no popups nothing.
Stop using Reddit
Basically every community that doesn’t have > 1,000,000 subscribers on Reddit?
My subscribed feed has top posts from days ago. Specific communities like virtual reality or mountain biking or classical guitar are basically empty.
That said I don’t use reddit and consider my boutique feed a sacrifice to the internet gods until lemmy has more population.
There just are no alternatives to some things on there. So I’m stuck having to check in at least once every day.
Some people use it for more than just entertainment and killing time. Like getting advice on certain topics like parenting or relationships. How to deal with a partner with certain conditions etc. You can’t find that on lemmy.
Hey… and if anyone is interested in a chrome extension to automatically redirect reddit links to this please tell me, I have made one and I am using it for myself for now, if people want it I will upload it to the extension store.
While you wait, I’ve found a solution which works perfectly for me. I use the firefox extension Redirector with these settings. Now I don’t have to ignore every video on lemmit that’s hosted on Reddit because I don’t want to give them pageviews, I can just watch them on RDX instead! get all the Reddit content I want without ever actually visiting Reddit.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=99cVnYY9Iqs
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

probably shouldnt advertise it too much, increasing traffic and thus making it a target for reddit to make it stop working
I use lemmit. That way the reddit content comes here to Lemmy, and I have everything I want here in one place. I just started using a browser plugin to redirect any links that direct to reddit from lemmit to direct to RDX instead. This was only an issue with some videos and stuff that were hosted on reddit, normal links would skip reddit completely by default with lemmit. Now with RDX, I can really avoid reddit altogether!
I was curious about this kind of idea. Isn’t all reddit content owned by reddit, and isnt pasting their intellectual property onto a different platform not really super legal? (I fully support it)
Being able to extract all of the question/answer threads on reddit to boost the value of lemmy from a search index perspective seemed too good to be true as a solution.
Maybe too good to be true, but I’ll ride that train to the end of the line! As for comments, it’s not possible, and anyway, I think it’s better to start our own conversations here.
I was wondering if it was possible to write a script to scrape reddit posts, and then ask chatgpt to say the same thing slightly differently and output the post/comments in a csv format and then use that to create a lemmy posting bot. Idk if chatgpt has api access like that though, and what agreements would prohibit this.
Unless Reddit’s TOS is vastly different from other social media sites, you keep ownership of your content and give them a perpetual license to host it on their site. That way, if you post something illegal, it’s still your problem and not theirs.
That being said, copying non-link content is technically copyright infringement from the original poster. It’ll probably never amount to anything.
What is the advantage of your viewer over a regular browser?
No reddit popups, ads, banners, faster, easier, only focuses on the content.
