yes, but: why would I want to?
You Should Know
YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban.

I don't lurk there but there are years and years of questions and answers that are frequently relevant to what I'm trying to figure out
For this use case, using an alternative like Redlib, libreddit etc is probably a better experience than being able to access Reddit.
This is why I set up a redlib instance on my homelab.
I started a RDR2 play through a while back and I was shocked at how much content I was finding in Reddit comments for the random stuff I was looking up.
For certain niches over the past decade, it really is a treasure trove 😔
I use r/arabs and r/latin, which barely has an equivalent on lemmy at all.
And there are subreddits for niche games/software/hobbies, which also do not exist on lemmy.
TV show discussions
It's non-existent on Lemmy
There are many subreddits on Reddit with no analog on the Threadiverse.
There are also a number of subreddits that contain information not available elsewhere.
I don't log in to Reddit anymore, but I'll search for answers on Reddit and skim a couple of communities read-only.
Porn
No, I don't think I will
The kicker that made me leave Reddit is my 11 year old account got abruptly locked and then suspended for “technical irregularities” (using a VPN). It’s disappointing how anti-privacy it’s become.
Let’s bring the content over here so people don’t have to use it at all.
LibRedirect Firefox addon is good to automatically redirect various websites, the main one I use it fkr being reddit. Redlib etc servers aren't reliable, but it'll ping the different ones and find which is working well.
And for IOS, rdx is a great hard client for just browsing/lurking.
Tor still works
You just have to change the circuit like 10 times.
I never had any problems...
...because I don't go to reddit!
No thanks, I'm done with Reddit.
Or you could just not use Reddit. Reddit sucks.
Yeah yeah, we get it. It's the reason 90% of users are here.
It is still a fact though that there is a lot of knowledge and answered questions on reddit, that is not available somewhere else. Then stuff like this can help access these without you having to make an account.
Addicts always gotta justify how they get their fix, I guess.
Reddit has objectively accumulated a larger amount of ~~porn~~ useful information than Lemmy.
Often times, it is only there you can find it. Still, it is best to participate on Lemmy and share your findings, so you could find them here as well.
Lemmy doesn't have information about IPL machines. I would've used Lemmy if I could.
I've gotten this only a handful of times and simply refreshing my VPN has solved it every time.
