“The Reddit Trick” in Google searches has been my go-to for the last several years. It’s almost become a prerequisite for the search engine to even function at this point.

However, due to Reddit’s impressively thorough bed-shitting, and the in-progress mass migration off of it, it might be a good idea to have some redundancies in place for that weird, digital, usage-case-specific Library of Alexandria.

I feel a little funny about simply copying/pasting useful info threads off of Reddit and into their applicable Lemmy communities (also what are we calling subreddits here on Lemmy? Communities doesn’t quite cut it because subreddits is shortened to subs while communities is shortened to… well), at least without having the original posters who did the work involved.

If it’s something common-knowledgy, like a Life Pro Tip, sure, it’s fair game, re-post away. But if it’s stuff that actually required any R&D, what do we then? Is there an ethical or moral consensus on that kind of thing, or is that still being built in discussions here?

P.S. - I vote we call “subs” here on Lemmy “lubs”

EDIT: lubs is a joke, y’all

    Maybe someone could create a read-only (at least for posts) lemmy instance that archives the most important info subs. There are also cached pages for private subs, which could maybe be helpful.

      If someone still has a reddit account and can post 20 of the best Hobbydrama posts, they would be my hero. That could keep me reading for a couple days right there
