Ask here in lemmy.

I posted a question a couple of days ago in Windows 98 community. After submitting the post, I noticed last post submitted was 2 years ago.

I felt down and thought about deleting the post but to my surprise I got an answer in an hour or so.

Posted a question to lemdro.id last week and solar only got useless bot replies that seemed to have .crolled previous reddit posts about the same question.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m not expecting the same results to be always similar to my experience or at least positive.

Also, I’d stick to popular instances since I’d expect moderators to be stricter than random instances when it comes to bots.

Some communities decided to have a separate instance such as piracy iirc.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

lemdro.id is quite strict regarding bots, I run it! I'm not sure what post they were referring to since I can't see it in their history

So all you're saying is that deleting your posts to get the engagement down works perfectly?

Pretty much any subdomain will go to the nginx server and it will only do something if youve configured that subdomain in the config - everything else just gets ignored, or you can setup a catchall to handle all the unconfigured stuff

so you will need something like this (might not be exact, been a long time since i had to configure NGINX haha)

server {
server_name ha.mydomain.duckdns.org;
location / {
proxy_pass http://hostnameOrIP1:port1;
}
}
server {
server_name nextcloud.mydomain.duckdns.org;
location / {
proxy_pass http://hostnameOrIP2: port
}
}

an easier way would be to use Nginx Proxy Manager which gives you a nice GUI to add and manage all the sites.

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

And the traffic doesn't go to reddit, which is exactly what we want.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's been two minutes now. How's it going?

This is why I haven't touched any of my own comments

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Me as well. I've been in situations where complete strangers online have answered and helped me so many times regarding problems I've had, so I've tried to return the favor through reddit and other platforms. I have no intention of doing this, this is just... mean IMO.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago (3 children)

While as a user it sucks that is exactly the reasons people do it. It takes the value away from reddit, if the content that users want to see it not there people will not go there.

What I find the best compromise is users that take their comments they had on reddit and post them again as it's own post to lemmy with the context needed. While not perfect the information is at least not lost completely and a google search in the future might actually bring someone to a lemmy instance instead of to a corporation like reddit. But that is obviously a lot of work to do, especially if you have lot of helpful comments on reddit.

This is the only effective way to protest reddit, though.

As someone who helped to generate those types of answers and then deleted them all.

Fuck Reddit, they didn't pay me for that work and then they dicked me over in chase of a half penny. Sorry the rest of the world doesn't get to use my work for free, but Reddit broke the agreement. I post content, they provide a good user experience. They failed their end, I rescinded mine.

LMAO I'm dying.

I wonder how many people did this. I did, and deleted my posts as well. But I was mostly a lurker there and so my edits and deletes didn't really mean anything.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I did it to over 85000 comments across 6 accounts

I did my own script for it. Most were deleted, a few recent ones were left edited.

It does suck for someone who wanted anything useful I posted, but ultimately I think Reddit having it to draw any traffic is more harmful. I want them to lose their stranglehold now that they're abusing it.

I've done the exact same thing on 2 accounts. There was some good information on them but now it's a bunch of gibberish.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

FYI you’re looking for a reverse proxy. There are addons for HA that handle that, such as NGINX Proxy Manager.

The Home Assistant community is very responsive and can help with this kind of stuff if you can't find the answers you need just from searching around.

To answer the question...

Yes. You can do that. Quite easily. Just need a reverse proxy. I prefer traefik. Nginx is the most commonly used option here.

Same here! “No IPOs without APIs” is what I spread around 14 years of active Reddit use. Let it sit a few weeks to get backed up a few times and then erased it all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Time to buy stock in Stack Overflow, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't. That place is its own dumpster fire.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

If anyone is interested in the actual answer, they are basically suggesting which is really cleaver and will solve OP's situation
