The greatest thing about Reddit is finding information on any old topic. For today, I wanted to dig deeper into My Dinner With Andre. RIF tried to open (he’s such a trooper 😢) and when that failed I went to the browser.
I really want nothing to do with supporting that site, but I do want to read these old discussions. Any advice?
Just stop going to the site. It’s that simple.
When you get to a Reddit thread via Google or other search engines you can request a cached version of it.
uBlock Origin and uBlock extension combined give really good ad blocking alone. Combine it with a DNS solution in your router like AdGuard and you won’t have to deal with ads at all.
Simultaneously gives the middle finger to reddit because they live on ads.
Louis Malle is a boss, just thought I’d start with that.
But what did you even want that you could t get on IMDb or Wikipedia? There are plenty of places besides Reddit to chat about film
Are there? IMDb killed its boards like 10 years ago. I am unaware of other large scale movie discussion boards, Reddit has really taken that spot for me.
Whenever I finished a tv series it was nice closure to go through its subreddit and see all the takes, things I missed, etc. Old style media or just marter-of-factly summarizing the plot just doesn’t go as far.
https://browse.feddit.de/ This will show you every community there is on Lemmy. It won’t help with the old discussions, but may help you find some new communities you didn’t know about. I find it best to either just scroll through the list as is, or if using the search bar, to type maybe half the word I’m looking for and give it a few seconds to search.
