Do database dumps of it still exist?
replyMaybe it’s time to just download it and Wikipedia, then point an LLM / vectordb at it.
See if https://github.com/Tryhard-cs/reddit-download-tool works, the readme enumerates the data sources it pulls from.
replyPerhaps the way to solve for X is having a scraper serve the data via torrent and/or IPFS vs centralized systems like nitter and xcancel.
New Reddit is too. They were A/B testing it for a while, but now you can't use it without the login pop-up after a short timespan. The funny thing is, it has nothing to do with how much content you view. So if you really want to read something, you can hit F5 and scroll back down every time the pop-up is shown. Still not worth it. But honestly, Reddit content has taken such a plummeting nose dive over the last few years, this just feels like a final reminder that it's time to move on.
replyInteresting--I'm still using old.reddit.com with no problem, without an account. Maybe the change is not broadly rolled out?
replyThey’ve been rolling it out gradually. There was a thread on HN about it a couple of weeks ago, it just started affecting my IPs a few days ago.
replyIt’s managed to do what years of self-imposed content blockers etc. on my own side have failed to do - finally broke my Reddit addiction!
Could be regional - however it's odd that it pops up on old.reddit.com but not reddit.com.
replyIt happens to me on not old reddit as well
replyOld reddit on the tor onion domain still works for me.
replyUse a LibReddit/Redlib/Teddit/etc. instance.
