best way to view old reddit content without giving them revenue?

Jackcooper@lemmy.world to Reddit@lemmy.world – 100 points –

The greatest thing about Reddit is finding information on any old topic. For today, I wanted to dig deeper into My Dinner With Andre. RIF tried to open (he's such a trooper 😢) and when that failed I went to the browser.

I really want nothing to do with supporting that site, but I do want to read these old discussions. Any advice?

For now, and this probably won't work forever, I'm hosting an instance of Libreddit, which is effectively an alternative front end to Reddit. In lieu of that, the Internet Archive is probably your next best bet.

i m getting 429 too many request more than likely.. so i wondered if its me or my network

Mine's still trucking somehow, but I'm not using a public instance, so maybe somehow the smaller ones are flying under the radar? Probably not, but for now I'll enjoy the fact that it's still working.

i see isee, good to know. I will keep searching for working instance. but really i don't use reddit that much this days.
