Basically what the title says. I know many users here are trying to avoid giving Reddit any traffic and I saw how grateful everyone was on another post where this was done.
A sticky making this a rule would be amazing!
Why not just post here in the first place? Why give Reddit any traffic at all?
That’s the end goal but it’s a ways until we get there. In the mean time one of the good ways to be sure we have lots of content here is scraping Reddit.
This is also directed at those who are already posting Reddit content here.
I recommend mirroring whole /r/ subs to /c/ communities using automated tools. I don’t need to see Reddit content in /c/reddit – at all.
Someone shared this website on another post and I thought it was relevant : https://libreddit.hu/
This allows you to browse Reddit without giving it any traffic.
wouldn’t that website be making use of the API?
Libreddit and teddit scrape reddit
They do not use the api
I don’t know what that means but cool!
I apologize for the duplicate posts, I was given an error message and timed out when initially submitting. Sorry!
It seems you’re not the first to have that happen and you probably won’t be the last 😀
Haha, thank you!
Lesson learned: if it’s times out while posting check before trying again.

I agree, this is a good idea.
I don’t understand why you would do this? If you want to browse Reddit just go to Reddit
Why would anyone want to do this? If you want to read Reddit just go to Reddit. I’m here because Reddit sucks
I explained it clearly in another comment on this post.
I don’t see it
