Often times when duckduckgoing (is that the right term for that) advice for products, I use the !ddgr key to directly search reddit for advice. But in a post-blackout world, I need to do this a lot less. So I want to know what the best places are to get reviews and advice for products that are human and not top 10 listicals.
If you still want to target reddit, without overtly giving traffic to reddit, I highly recommend one of the many LibReddit instances. And with something like LibRedirect you could still be doing !ddgr and click any reddit links, and always get redirected directly to an appropriate LibReddit instance.
Doing that! But still would like an alternative for reddit.
Can I link one of those directly into kbin? I’m on mobile if it makes a difference
Libreddit will lose access after June 30 correct? Didn’t know about the project until I joined Kbin.
They don’t know what should they do at this point, they wanted to scrape the website (which is what teddit plans to do) but saw that it would be too muc work, then they said they would use graphQL and now they want to cache requests to reduce the API usage while asking for the instance admins to provide the private key. They made a poll on github on wether they should make the telemetry of sending the number of requests in a totally private way, and the majority was fine, but the devs were still skeptical on adding this feature, so yeah, libreddit doesn’t have a bright future currently.
