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.
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.
I actually started a while before I commented. It seems that the comment isn’t actually in the file I downloaded. I might need to get the one before it that is triple the size… I’m not sure if I have the space for this.
Looks like the data from the-eye.eu/redarcs only goes up to the start of March. But luckily the folks at ArchiveTeam processed the post at a time before the comment was edited. It can be seen here.
I do, it’s usually nice to have voted users’ opinions of niche subreddits on pros and cons of different tools. Fi first search usually is “some problem I am having”, after 5-10 minutes, the second one is “some problem I am having reddit”.
It’s nice to see recommendations done by real humans of their personal preferences instead of 5-6 blog posts, those shitty versus pages that show nothing or closed SO questions because the answers are opinionated.
This guy’s taking a screenshot of a thread on r/HomeAssistant looking for advice on how to reverse proxy multiple services at their gateway router so they can access their self-hosted HomeAssistant and NextCloud from different subdomains at the same IP address.
Pretty sure they’re a technical user.
But yeah in general it sucks but I’d consider Reddit a dead resource at this point. But, if you do find content there that is useful, REPOST IT HERE. Let’s make this place useful for nontechnical users!

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

Bold to assume most people going to Reddit for answers to questions are technically-minded.

Now that I totally agree with.
I got more help on r/selfhosted and c/selfhosted than I did on Traefik’s own forums
And the traffic doesn’t go to reddit, which is exactly what we want.
