My reddit web viewer still works! Story: When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I uploaded a web viewer I have been using for myself to Github pages for everyone to use...

I use lemmit. That way the reddit content comes here to Lemmy, and I have everything I want here in one place. I just started using a browser plugin to redirect any links that direct to reddit from lemmit to direct to RDX instead. This was only an issue with some videos and stuff that were hosted on reddit, normal links would skip reddit completely by default with lemmit. Now with RDX, I can really avoid reddit altogether!

I was curious about this kind of idea. Isn't all reddit content owned by reddit, and isnt pasting their intellectual property onto a different platform not really super legal? (I fully support it)

Being able to extract all of the question/answer threads on reddit to boost the value of lemmy from a search index perspective seemed too good to be true as a solution.

probably shouldnt advertise it too much, increasing traffic and thus making it a target for reddit to make it stop working

Stop using Reddit

I would if lemmy was even close to an actual replacement.

What is it missing?

Have you even used Lemmy for anything except meme reposts?

Basically every community that doesn't have > 1,000,000 subscribers on Reddit?

That's too many subscribers anyway. 90% of the comments would've just been buried and no one would've seen them

Yes, 100 to 200 comments per thread are easily enough, but lots of medium sized subreddits don't even exist or are barely active on Lemmy.
