AnActOfCreation‘Reddit can survive without search’: company reportedly threatens to block Google
cordlesslampIdk if it’s possible, but if someone with the resources to make a bot that slowly clone reddit posts to Lemmy, so instead of searching for “something + Reddit” we could search for “something + Lemmy”, that would be the end of Reddit, at least for me.
I’m 100% on lemmy now, but occasionally when i need to troubleshoot my PC I still have to search on Google for Reddit posts and I hate myself for giving reddit traffic.
This can be done by periodically scraping a subreddit. I have a working script that can do this for a subreddit that I follow. There’s a few more things that I need to do before I can open source it
