News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules

Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.

Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

PSA: Passively consuming reddit? Here's a great, automated privacy-friendly frontend solution for your browser (self.reddit)

Using reddit without an account is a pain nowadays, especially with any commercial VPN. There are ways around that:

Some of you may known the rather short-lived Libreddit, an awesome frontend for Reddit that got struck down by its success.

Redlib is a (still working) fork of Libreddit with a few instances. Due to reddits API Limits, it's not very practical to rely on one instance.

A quite elegant solution is the Automatic Redlib Quota & Error Redirector userscript. Once installed, most Redlib errors are automatically detected and your request gets redirected to another instance. This results in an excellent user experience, altough some instances can be a bit slow if you're trying to access media.

The list of available Redlib instances the script uses gets updated quite frequently. The script also works nicely with redirect plugins, e.g. this one for Firefox, if you want to automatically redirect all Reddit URLs to Redlib.

Can this switch instance upon errors?

[–] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

not automatically, but it's fairly uncomplicated. you click on the extension icon and then a reload button next to the service that you're accessing, and it'll try accessing the page through another instance.

That's unfortunate. I do like the ability having it to correct and try another instead of manually finding one that works.
