“The Reddit Trick” in Google searches has been my go-to for the last several years. It’s almost become a prerequisite for the search engine to even function at this point.
However, due to Reddit’s impressively thorough bed-shitting, and the in-progress mass migration off of it, it might be a good idea to have some redundancies in place for that weird, digital, usage-case-specific Library of Alexandria.
I feel a little funny about simply copying/pasting useful info threads off of Reddit and into their applicable Lemmy communities (also what are we calling subreddits here on Lemmy? Communities doesn’t quite cut it because subreddits is shortened to subs while communities is shortened to… well), at least without having the original posters who did the work involved.
If it’s something common-knowledgy, like a Life Pro Tip, sure, it’s fair game, re-post away. But if it’s stuff that actually required any R&D, what do we then? Is there an ethical or moral consensus on that kind of thing, or is that still being built in discussions here?
P.S. - I vote we call “subs” here on Lemmy “lubs”
EDIT: lubs is a joke, y’all
If we’re taking a haphazard approach then I feel like Lemmitbot is already doing a good amount of work with posts at least
If we’re talking about something comprehensive, I think a good idea if you’re able is to make a website to act as a web portal for stuff on Archive.org or reddit archive websites. Then just fill that website to the brim with SEO. You could even include reddit in the name or tags somehow to maintain the original reddit trick.
Would that be ethical? I’d say so, you’d just be rigging search engines to include an archive in the results. And every websites abuses SEO, that’s why the reddit trick exists to begin with.
