So many tech answers on reddit. Hopefully the community here will bloom soon enough

It’s been so difficult lately with all the subreddits going private. Makes me sad that I can’t get help through Reddit anymore. Years and years of QnA down the drain.

Copy the link and search an archive; the sub me may be down anyways. Also post your solution here. Be the change you want to see

I get this all the time now…hopefully we can start getting our answers from Lemmy instances soon!

Yet you give in out of desperation only to find the subreddit is private.

  const results = document.querySelectorAll('div.yuRUbf > a');
  results.forEach(e => {
    let href = e.getAttribute('href');

} else if (!window.location.hostname.match(/(localhost$|^(127|192|10)\.)/)) {
  const href = get_archive_href(location.href);
  document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
    if (event.ctrlKey && event.altKey && event.key === 'a') {
      window.location.href = href;
    }
  });
}

press shift+ctrl+A or click on archive if you use google.

True this, I had an issue using the duckstation emulator and then googled and the whole first page of search hits were reddit posts to a blacked out sub. Grrr.

This automatically redirects Reddit links to their archived versions

Whenever that happens, I take a look at the result and bring it here.

I make a post at the relevant community. If it doesn’t exist, I make it. I encourage you to do the same. :)
