“The Reddit Trick” in Google searches has been my go-to for the last several years. It’s almost become a prerequisite for the search engine to even function at this point.

However, due to Reddit’s impressively thorough bed-shitting, and the in-progress mass migration off of it, it might be a good idea to have some redundancies in place for that weird, digital, usage-case-specific Library of Alexandria.

I feel a little funny about simply copying/pasting useful info threads off of Reddit and into their applicable Lemmy communities (also what are we calling subreddits here on Lemmy? Communities doesn’t quite cut it because subreddits is shortened to subs while communities is shortened to… well), at least without having the original posters who did the work involved.

If it’s something common-knowledgy, like a Life Pro Tip, sure, it’s fair game, re-post away. But if it’s stuff that actually required any R&D, what do we then? Is there an ethical or moral consensus on that kind of thing, or is that still being built in discussions here?

P.S. - I vote we call “subs” here on Lemmy “lubs”

    Ha, not sure if I read you right or it’s just my reading, but if you think “coms” is somewhat inappropriate, I got news for you regarding “subs”…

      I think they might be thinking commies? As in communists? Idk. However, coms or comms works for me. Sounds good
