I love how search engines display inaccessible links.

    I read this as “we don’t want you, the user, to interact with our 100% user-content driven website that depends on your presence to keep having value”.

    Just putting this out there, if you use startpage you can use the anonymous view feature to get around this :) Obviously avoiding reddit is better but if it’s the only available resource…

    I wish there was a way to filter all sites that block me like this, at least my search would actually show results I can read

      Sometimes part of the content can be seen in the search result page, as the crawler got the content. But when you click inside, you’re blocked by the membership wall. Irony?

      You should get a better VPN. Mine only gives me this rarely, often when I’m using a node that I can assume is where a bunch of prime would use to run bots.

        I like Mullvad. Probably the only reason I get the error is there’s one country that’s a fav, but some sites don’t like it because of its privacy restrictions … which ofc is why it’s my fav.

    At least they told you you’re blocked, instead of just making random parts of it not work with zero communication

      There are a few communities on Reddit that aren’t represented on here. So I still go to Reddit some.

        There might be very niche communities but Lemmy has grown so much in the last year. I would encourage you to search for whatever community you are looking for. You might not find the exact equivalent but you might find a good match.

        For example, there may be a /r/3dprinteddildos on reddit but that won’t exist here. But I am sure that the 3D community here can point you in the right direction.

        Keep in mind how subreddit often got created: when the general community doesn’t provide enough content for your niche, the niche community is developed.

        /r/gonewild is a great example of this. It went from amateur porn to a cestpool of only fans content. Other subreddits were created to continue the way.

        It’s the same thing here: find a community that’s close and post.

          Lemmy is nowhere near the wealth of information available on Reddit. And if we’re talking about hobbies, then literally no one gives a shit about Lemmy. The whole of the Fediverse has only 50k daily active users, most of them are on Mastodon. Lemmy is just a tiny fraction of those 50k. The main 3D printing sub alone has more active users than the whole Lemmy.

          That leads to a situation where knowledgeable people from the industry and hobby leaders don’t post anything here. I’m not even sure many of them even heard of it.

          So, if you want some help or to learn something, you either go to specialised forums or to Reddit. Lemmy is for memes and throwing feces at each other. Which is fun.

      I’m trying to convince people to check out Lemmy but it’s hard. People are so stuck in their ways. I’ll keep trying though

      I’ve stopped casually browsing Reddit but sometimes it’s the only way to get somewhat decent search results

        Does anyone else remember back in the early days of the internet when experts used to say, “The internet routes around problems”.

        I miss those early days.

        To @[email protected] , I see that a lot with searches now too but I just keep searching or find some other way around the problem. There’s no way I click in to Reddit any more. You do you, but I’m saying there’s always another option.

    When google started to index paywalled things… I thought that was pretty evil. Showing google content but not normal internet users. Giving sites the ability to have their cake and eat it too.

    When reddit decided to force logging in to see some subreddits on mobile, I decided they were evil.

    This is why I’m on Lemmy posting content, we have to use open platforms if we want them to succeed. This is the first time I’ve used social media. I’m doing it as a civic duty

      Yeah, I questioned the second and third temp bans they gave me. After the last (so, the third) they banned me. I suspect it’s because I was asking.

      Their reasons of course were bullshit, for every single ban (which they confirmed were correctly issued… Morons).
