I use lib-redirect for everything if I really need to get to a reddit link. It's rare, but there are certain types of communities where I'd like to get a "average laymans" perspective and unfortunately just due to the size here on the fediverse there is rarely wide-spread availability. As you mentioned, specific games. Lots of hobbies. Even the opportunity for consumer tech talk, if I'm interested in replacing something that's 8+ years old there's just not a lot of existing content to search through here and that leaves blog posts and... Reddit.

I've had plenty of time recognizing what astroturfing looks like, so I rarely feel like I'm left out of options to search. All that said, I've been doing this a lot less since the whole shift happened. Maybe an endeavor every few months, rather than few days/weeks.
