A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Well, I commented here and linked to a Reddit thread earlier:
https://old.reddit.com/r/AskAcademia/comments/1dkeiwz/is_genz_really_this_bad_with_computers/
Let's see what happens if we slap a .json extension on it.

That looks kind of like it. I have no idea if it has limitations of one sort or another.
Very freaking cool! What do you think would be the best way to view it or render it to best replicate the format of tapping and collapsing or at least being able to easily puruse all the main parent/top-level comments?
I assume you mean offline? Because if it’s online, just open the reddit url in a browser.
Have you tried reader mode in your browser?
For example, here’s the steps on a Mac using Safari (but other browsers like Firefox also have a reader view).
- open Reddit thread in browser
- sort comments
- choose view as reader
- choose file > print
- click save as PDF
You might get better print results by viewing the page from old.reddit.com instead of Reddit.com.
Faster steps:
Kbd shortcut for Reader mode: cmd-shift-r Kbd shortcut for print: cmd-p
Good tip about the old.reddit tweak, doesnt effect the Reader mode thing tho. Reddit just shows their anti-spam thing
Hope that is what you are looking for.
You should probably ask this on Reddit
Why is that, it is a valid question
Yep; unless valid means open ended, thought provoking, ends with "?" and not support.
That is pedantism. The abstract principal is of far more importance. Someone asking about how to scrape a website is a common topic. Bashing people for making use of Lemmy is toxic nonsense.
Yeah, for a tech support community, like the one linked in the related communities box.
What's the point of all that toxic nonsense down the right hand side of the page ?
Narcissistic fodder. They are guidelines. Community always comes first. Mods serve the community not the other way around. Those that fail to follow this rule should never be mods; they do it for the wrong reasons. Every mod action causes harm and the reason for actions should be clearly in the best interests of the whole community in every instant where actions are taken. Community rules are for building community, therefore the community always comes first. If the community pushes in some new direction and engages, the rules should change. The users own the community they post in. Mods serve that community. Narcissistic authoritarianism has no place in this democracy. Anyone with those tendencies should be purged. The only community that a mod can ever own is the one only they have ever posted within.
fine i guess i have to unsubscibe from this one then
