I remember that being a thing amongst the initial migration, is it still happening? I rather hate having to append redshit to the end of my searches every time, especially with their anti-vpn bullshit they’re on now.

    Nobody can move a community, it’s like herding cats but worse because the cat lady (Reddit mods) will ban you for trying.

    Best you can do is try to build community here by asking and answering the sorts of questions you want to see.

    Does the job, if a little slowly, without this little shit getting in the way:

      other than redlib as the other commenter said, you could also just write a userscript for violentmonkey. easier to maintain

        Also good, thanks.

        Not that there’s much to maintain, it’s a one-and-done thing. This would resolve the unsigned extension though :)

    I’ve been a happy libreddit/redlib user for a few years now. sometimes an instance has a temporary block but then I click redirect in libredirect and the next instance works
