If you Google something and the results you need is on a reddit page but you’re unable to view for any reason, such as the user deleting the post or the sub going dark, there is a work around to get the info you need. Copy the link from Google and In your web browsers search bar/ URL bar type Cache: followed by the URL you...
Which browsers have you tested this with? Interested to see which browsers do not support the above trick.
If you happen to be using one of those btw, you can still do this, just go to duckduckgo and put in the !cache followed by the url and duckduckgo will take you there.
Also, if archive.is doesn't have a saved copy of a page, it includes a link to google's cache.
There’s still some subreddits I’d like to view as their communities haven’t swapped over yet. Like you guys, I obviously don’t want to support Reddit in any way shape or form. Surprisingly, they have not gutted RSS feeds yet. Simply add .rss at the end of the domain. Example...
Is there a way to take a url like old.reddit.com/r/sub/comments/abcdef/the_post_title/ and get the post text body and the comments (at lest the first couple of levels) via rss?
Ditto, except it's kbin.social in my case rather than lemmy.world
I probably would have never read this story if it only existed on kbin
I would presume the instance is important here?
That can be the case, sometimes issues with federation can cause threads to get lost across instances, and a new instance may not get all the existing threads on a pre-existing magazine.
However, it looks like both your account and this magazine are hosted on lemmy.world - since you're both on the same instance, you should have been able to see the older posts on this magazine. (Note: magazine is the kbin term for lemmy communities - i prefer it as the term community can be ambiguous). I've never used lemmy proper so am not sure how that works, but on kbin you can view the older threads on a magazine quite easily.
Ideally there would have been a way to merge threads and preserve the comments from both. Too late now I guess, but something to keep in mind next time something like this happens I suppose..
Could probably modify @BotIt to get a lot of the current stuff for a subreddit.
If looking to migrate the complete history, it may make sense to combine the above with something that mines the pushshift torrents, to retrieve posts and comments that are no longer available on reddit's website or by searching.
Shows how desperate they've become for content creators after the fiasco that was the third party app protest. Like, they're not profitable yet, and they want to give money away? C'mon already.
A company headquartered in the US but it's a website that has a presence in many countries, including the EU.
Maybe not surprising, but they are probably shortchanging themselves by not allowing folks from abroad to contribute into the program. USians aren't the only content creators.

Is there some script, addon or something that will take data from GDPR request and delete content, especially comments, one by one? redact had this capability, but it’s not working now
the same way api protestersreddit thinks they are entitled to having reddit bend to their willapi protesters give them free money for nothing after taking away the apps that make reddit bearable
Ah I think I remember that. It was r/mildlyinteresting iirc - an admin demodded the entire mod team for breaking a rule that they didn't actually break (they filled the flag but didn't actually allow any NSFW) and a different admin added them back.
In the meantime, to ensure that r/PICS is adhering to all of Reddit’s guidelines and requests, we would be happy to revert the NSFW setting, restrict posting, and remove any and all content that could be considered “offensive” by anyone.
Hmm. So they are superficially giving in, they won't keep NSFW on to avoid ads money for reddit. But by going restricted, and going after all "offensive" content (could I read that to mean all John Oliver content? i.e. all content since the protests started) they stand to cause a massive drop in traffic to the sub, which should still hurt the bottom line.
Even after you manually wiped using the links in your archive? If you just used PDS though it might be that reddit did some reindexing to make older stuff show up again, or a sub or a few going unprivate.
Shorts not allowed as part of the school uniform? No problem!
Not my own story, but my original retelling of a public one....
