If my fingers prune I’m going to die or something

? This post is a month old now

oh wow that’s strange. I cannot imagine what they must have done in the nginx config to do that. I guess there isn’t anything you can do until lemmy.ml fixes their IPv6 then. I just checked my logs and lemmy.ml isn’t federating with my instance anymore. Thats very bad! Also explains the lack of content i’ve been seeing.
EDIT: Ok, nevermind lemmy.ml is federating with me. I just connect to it over IPv6

ahh, I think this is because lemmy.ml is down all the time from the load right now. if you unsubscribe and resubscribe when lemmy.ml is back it might fix it.

If you know how to use greasemonkey there is a script to make lemmy look more like old.reddit here Personally, it fixed a lot of the UI issues for me.
What do you mean by 3? you shouldn’t need authorisation to join a federated community.

Yeah, I’m at a loss.

Nah, I can’t see any reason to make more than one account.

The file you downloaded is a compressed JSON file, it’s not something you can really just look at. But it contains all the data needed to build a nice UI around.
I don’t know what OS you are on but on linux you can run zstd -d -c file.zst | jq . and it will print everything in the file. It’s not really readable though. Also it doesn’t have any of the media content, only the text

I hate reddit. But it feels like the library of Alexandria burning down (yea I know). All those google search results and educational subreddits that are shutting down forever, and because they are too small reddit won’t force open them again.
A lot are in the pushshift archive, but that cuts of at 2022. Also, it doesn’t include a lot of the smaller subreddits.
I have had my PC running 24/7 with multiple VPNs to avoid rate limits downloading as much as I can before the API dies, but with some blackouts moving forward a day I have already missed a few.
Like many others, I would often add “reddit” to the end of my searches to get better results, half the websites on web searches now are either AI generated, copies or are completely AD ridden websites that ask you to turn off your AD blocker.
