or just go to archive.org and use the wayback machine. newer posts need some fudgery to find the comments since archiveteam snatches content right as it is posted and due to that comments are only reachable via their link

at least java minecraft does that part right with the offline mode that switches off auth checks. for a real online server you need a login plugin then (makes sense that some form of username ownership verify is needed in that case) but for a secured LAN it is usable by default.

same. saved my ass already a few times when doing some reverseengineering voodoo. being able to set a valid https cert makes it easier to redirect apps than to bypass forced HTTPS. had to pretend to be a update server for something once and patching the URL was enough via getting a cert quickly (using DNS-01 challenge, no exposed ports ever)

Good thing is that the content is not lost for those that know to surf the web. But those locations don't help reddit at all (main one is the wayback machine from archive.org and then there is a raw datadump of anyhting up to march 2023 as JSON)

you can use a secondary firefox profile. starting firefox with the --no-remote -p switches allows to load it alongside the main profile (-p loads the profile manager and --no-remote suppresses the "open new window in existing profile" behavior

Lets hope that federation gets a backfill/resync mode, too so first subscriber doesnt get a empty magazine/community.

or for anything past 2021 the wayback machine should have it, too.

that user didnt notice the fact that kbin and lemmy can talk together, same protocol underlying.

I still don't feel there is any fediverse instance which feels as clean, elegant, and unclaustrophobic as the old.reddit.com UI. Whether that's just my own aversion to change or a legitimate comment on the quality of old.reddit I'm not sure, but there are some aspects of the UIs that are unquestionably rough, like full page loads which could be replaced with AJAX.

+1 on that. old.reddit (combined with the sub-specific CSS) is something that somehow needs to be ported over to the lemmy/kbin side, too. new reddit was too much wasted space and non-loaded stuff for me (old had more comments loaded by default)

Before all the drama I had pointed to many friends that most discourse and live interaction on my regular subreddits had already moved to discord. The unified ui and functioning search make it more useful.

But discoverability is zero for that content. discord is "deep web" which is not indexable at all by search engines.

leave the old content intact, there is a archival ongoing from archiveteam on reddit. (shreddit channel on hackint irc, or https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Reddit ). That data goes straight into the wayback machine (raw data is available, too for those that can crunch through it)

in the usual syntax it would be written as @[email protected] or [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) (that syntax gets translated to the local form by the instance renderer). Lemmy uses the ! form usually
