    A few days after the API changes were announced, a massive number of old-reddit pages were archived. Technically-minded people should have no issue finding the original comments.

      Unfortunately, this comment is only 4 months old, which means it isn’t in the data that is separated nicely in individual subreddit files. Instead it requires parsing through a massive 151GB file. Let’s see how long it takes me to get the edited comments.

        sometimes you can find answer to things that aren’t even answered in stack overflow but answered in reddit. that was one of the things which made me use reddit at one point. hope lemmy create that kinda community here too.

        This guy’s taking a screenshot of a thread on r/HomeAssistant looking for advice on how to reverse proxy multiple services at their gateway router so they can access their self-hosted HomeAssistant and NextCloud from different subdomains at the same IP address.

        Pretty sure they’re a technical user.

        But yeah in general it sucks but I’d consider Reddit a dead resource at this point. But, if you do find content there that is useful, REPOST IT HERE. Let’s make this place useful for nontechnical users!
