I would agree from an outdoors perspective but there's no part of those states that really fit "blueish". I keep hoping as a neighborhood state, but Wyoming continues to disappoint as does Montana.

Nice! Thanks for the info! I'll get something set up today to start contributing.

The irony is that Google is treated as an evil enterprise that only wants your data and yet we all willingly gave Reddit all our data and information while talking about how evil Google is.

I've gone looking for a few solutions to issues and the results were Reddit threads. Thanks for the cache trick, I'll keep that in mind to hopefully continue to avoid Reddit. Ideally we have a better solution in the future that does not result in all our data being held hostage.

I also found this GreaseMonkey script that simplifies the entire process by allowing you to redirect any community to your local instance: https://sh.itjust.works/post/70143

This really simplified my workstream for adding new communities. There is also a script to reformat the site to look more like old Reddit if you are really wanting to feel at home. Some great work being done in that community.

This is awesome and removes a lot of the stumbling that I've been doing in the federated world. Thank you!

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I found something similar after I had posted this message.

Definitely some learning to do as to how the federated system works with Lemmy.

I have also noticed that communities advertised in new communities don't also show up on other instances. This seems especially true of communities originating on lemmy.world (at least for me).

Former Redditor. For those that are partaking in the Reddit walkout, with no plans on returning, is there additional information available for the datahoarding effort? The amount of information stuck in Reddit is overwhelming and we need to free that information for ingestion elsewhere.

I actually was searching for a solution to an issue today and the solution was on Reddit, which was set to private. I would love to help ensure this information is made available elsewhere.

He definitely didnt take all this information because he's a big history buff or a big reader. Those two are laughable traits, thus financially benefiting is the only aspect that fits.

It does keep you on your toes. I've actually seen a few response to new communities that were posted in the wrong community, assuming it was due to the page updating.

That was my thought as well, or assumption. I'm new here so it will take a bit to figure out the duplication model and what floats to the top, but I'm in for the adventure. =)

Totally agree. I feel like this is the equivalent, to some degree, of Stack Overflow just suddenly going away. The history needs to be preserved, somehow.
