A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Idk how helpful this is, but LibRedirect basically redirects all reddit links (and other websites like youtube, twitter, tiktok) in your browser to a privacy front-end that doesn't do any tracking or ads or things like that which is better than using the official reddit site.
Thanks for this. It would be cool if it was available for FF on mobile. I suppose it will stop working for Reddit after the API changes.
If my programming was a bit better I'd make an extension that redirects to the most recent archive.org capture. That would keep working after the API changes and keep me from actually visiting Reddit. Maybe I should learn how.
There is a mobile app(UntrackMe) that does a similar sort of redirecting https://fedilab.app/wiki/untrackme/
Redirector is another option for this. It's a generic tool so it doesn't have baked in rules, you have to specify your own. I use
^https://(old\\.|www\\.)?reddit.com/r/(.*)
for the source pattern andhttps://your-favorite-libreddit-instance/r/$2
as the destination.
