It really feels like Lemmy is alive because of you.
When I first checked out Lemmy, I wasn’t expecting there to be so much content, so much discussion, and so much community. But I’ve spent the better part of two days glued to my screen, browsing content all day. I’ve seen so many posts, so many interesting discussions about the fediverse, and of course, plenty of memes. It really feels like the start of something incredible.
I’ve gotta get back to work soon, but wow. I think this whole fediverse thing really is the next step for social media. If I find some extra time, I’ll definitely consider contributing to Lemmy’s source code to help this project and the FOSS ecosystem grow.
I was looking for support for a network issue and google returned me to several Reddit posts. Everyone of them was deleted or the sub was private. It’s usefulness it’s diminishing real quick.
If the sub is private, you can add “cache:” to the very beginning of the URL. Before the https. That will grab a cached version of before it went private, very helpful. Not sure if it works for deleted stuff tho.
That’s great to know… Ty.
That’s a game changer. I had no idea about that.
As someone who works in IT, this is very unfortunate. While I don’t agree with what Reddit is doing, I don’t think we should scorch the site. Its an immense archive of information that can be referenced.
It a dilemma isn’t it. If you had a business partner that decided to change the terms of the relationship so that you felt you had to leave would you let them keep the intellectual property to allow them still to make money from whilst you had nothing?
I thought about it long and hard and decided that I would take all my information as an archive and remove it from reddit. Once we have an alternative I will be more than happy to upload it to another resource.
as a software dev this also make me sad, but I hope chatgpt can fill that gap left by reddit
ChatGPT was probably trained on that data. ChatGPT remembers… like an elephant.
