Are reddit posts not archived or cached anywhere?
- Rebelgecko 3y agoI've been using the cached version in the Google search results. It doesn't always work but I've had good luck with reddit during the blackout
- nmeagent 3y agoI've been doing a bit of this as well. Unfortunately, it seems that Google hides the 'Cached' link on mobile devices (at least in Safari) unless you 'request' the desktop version of the search results page. I don't know why they do this; it's extremely obnoxious. But then again, this kind of obtuse nonsense is par for the course these days.
- nashashmi 3y agoBrowser dev and minimalism go together
- lyu07282 3y agoAnother annoying example, Chrome on desktop shows you download speed, on android they don't.
- vacillator 3y agoI simply prefix `cache:` to the URL and that brings up the cached page for me. Of course this will only work if your default search engine is Google.
- foresto 3y agoThey were being archived by pushshift.io until Reddit cut off their API access. Pushshift's API stopped returning results around that time. It looks like Reddit is going to let them resume, but with access restricted to Reddit moderators: https://old.reddit.com/r/pushshift/comments/13w6j20/advancing_communityled_moderation_an_update_on/ https://old.reddit.com/r/pushshift/comments/13w6j20/advancin... Other sites, like archive.org and Google, scrape and archive Reddit pages, but coverage is spotty at best.
- taopai 3y agoThere is a torrent with a large compressed dataset with reddit's text, I remember it was ~2TB. I can't find the url right now because it was discussed in a reddit thread.
