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?

http://mlmym.org/ mimics old Reddit and just pulls through any Lemmy instance you're using, so you don't have to change anything you're already doing and it feels like home. if you like it, please spread it, I only found it because somebody mentioned it.

I'm really new to all this. It's asking for a domain and when I put Reddit, it pops an error. How does it work...?

I pretty sure it just makes lemmy look like reddit, which isn't what OP is asking for.

It's asking for a lemmy domain to pull into an old reddit like ui.

That link is only for Lemmy instances (e.g., Lemmy.world, Beehaw.org). I entered "Beehaw.org" into the field and it worked fine.

I think the previous poster thought the OP wanted a Lemmy instance but to have it look just like Old Reddit (which this does). If you want Reddit content without going to Reddit, maybe Libreddit works (I think that's the name of the site). Tedd.it i believe will.shut down on August 1, but you can try them.for now.

Bummer - doesn't work for kbin... might be something as simple as the change from /c/ in community urls on lemmy to the /m/ magazine urls on kbin. Any chance they have a github or a contributor page to report a bug? Not seeing any on the initial interface.

sorry, I'm not associated with them, was just linked this morning and stoked. More people that know the better. I hope they can patch your instance in!!
