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.

abff08f4813c, to RedditMigration in PSA, you can add subreddits as an RSS to view without supporting Reddit

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?

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..

A shamed. There's actually a lot of good stories if you are able to view the older threads on this magazine. See for example https://kbin.social/m/maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world?p=3

I usually browse just the local communities

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.

Hmm so it seems like that deleted the comments old the older post from others too. Didn’t expect that to be honest.

Mostly was just curious why this one in particular was chosen to be reposted twice.

abff08f4813c, to RedditMigration in Working subreddit migrator?

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.

Sure, and that's a problem. r/politics was too US centric which eventually drove the creation of other subs like r/animie_titties

There are (or were) a lot of corners that were an exception to the rule, for example I don't think that anyone would argue that r/de was very USian.

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.

abff08f4813c, to RedditMigration in Reddit's Contributor Program could earn you real money for your Reddit karma

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.

abff08f4813c, to AskKbin in did anyone else from the USA grow up being forced to say the pledge to the flag in school?

This was very me

abff08f4813c, to RedditMigration in Got my GDPR data request.. after deleting my account
