You can now get reddit posts on lemmy via RSS, without any ads ;) - Yiffit.net

Check out [email protected] [https://lemmit.online/c/worldnews]. The admin of lemmit.online has set up a bot that fetches reddit posts via RSS, making it much easier to make the switch and of course not getting any ads. Also, these posts can then be cross-posted to help us create more content on lemmy native communities. Although I do recommend removing most of the post body when cross-posting. Alternatively you can turn the cross-post into a native post as if you simply were sharing content that you’ve seen on reddit, but with the perk of not having to load reddit. You can make requests for subs to fetch at [email protected] [https://lemmit.online/c/requests]. In the end we’re just using lemmy and lemmit’s bot as a simple RSS reader, so nothing illegal or even remotely unethical happening here.

Ok, I really don't get this.

Why are y'all so focused on basically moving Reddit onto the Fediverse when you can just, y'know, either make new content that you want to see on the Fediverse... or just go back to using Reddit? Dunno about you guys, but I got away from Reddit because I don't want the Fediverse to become Reddit 2.0 in terms of content and community - I was kind of hoping more for Fediverse communities and content, not Reddit communities and content on the Fediverse. If I wanted that, I'd go on Reddit.

The problem is that Reddit as it is now is a treasure trove of good comments by some very intelligent and knowledgeable people. You can find a good answers to most of questions by adding Reddit to the search on Google.
Reddit, and that information, is still there. If you want to avoid giving them hits for advertisers, I recommend trying out teddit.net. It doesn't use the API, so is unaffected by the new changes.
More generally, use https://libredirect.github.io/ to avoid tracking and advertizers on a whole host of extremely hostile services.
