I haven't felt the need to look up anything tbh. I realized I didn't really search reddit specific as much as I thought. Maybe I'm just more practiced and used to sifting through Google results for the info I need. Not sure if web of trust is still reliable?

For me, once Apollo officially stops working I won't have any ingrained habit for reaching out to reddit. I stopped using the website years ago except for reading search results that point there.
I’ve already opened and quickly closed Apollo a dozen times today. Time to break the habit. Going to start reading instead of doom scrolling.
Has anyone had any luck with using the wayback machine as an alternative? It may not work on more recent posts, but it should be a viable option for protesting subreddits and routing traffic away from Reddit.
I wonder how difficult it would be to make an extension that handled the redirection.
I'm not sure why you think you need to avoid Reddit at cost to you finding the information you're after.
If the information you want is on Reddit, why wouldn't you want to read it?
Yeah, I keep starting to type "reddit.com" into my browser address bar. Luckily "feddit.de" isn't too far off.
I always first search for a thing, look through the first ~10 results, don't find what I'm looking for, then go back to the search bar and append "reddit" and usually find the info I need right away almost every time. Going to be hard to break that habit and come up with better ways to pinpoint what I need. Or maybe I'll move all my questions to chatgpt and do what it tells me to do 🤡
I was trying to describe a former subreddit on a thread here and just habitually looked for its subreddit description and then remembered it was dark and that's why I was on lemmy in the first place.
