Watch Reddit Die

Watch Reddit die. Pray for Reddit to die. Help Reddit die.

Rules

  1. No Reddit shills or trolls. But if you have a good argument for why Reddit should live, we'll hear you out.
  2. Try to be civil and intelligent. Be angry at Reddit, not each other.
  3. Provide evidence as much as possible without doxxing or harassing people.
  4. Should probably avoid linking directly to Reddit. Use archive.today and archive.org links.

Will add more rules as needed.

If you don't like reddit, stop linking directly to it. Doing so makes them show up at the top of search results. (self.watchredditdie)

You should use archive.org or archive.today links.

The best way to influence the Domain Authority metric is to improve your site’s overall SEO health, with a particular focus on the quality and quantity of external links pointing to your site.

You can use the Wayback machine addon to easily get archived links https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wayback-machine_new/.

And a bookmarklet for archive.today:

javascript:void(open('https://archive.today/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)))

FYI, if you’re worried about archive.today going down and references being lost, you can manually leave in the original URL by adding https://archive.ph/o/ in front of any URL, after you archive it. IE: https://archive.ph/o/https://sh.itjust.works/post/26060585 will redirect to the archived page, if it exists.

Please consider using the crosspoint feature to post identical content across the Fediverse. It helps avoid spamming people's feeds with each individual occurrence, and creates crosslinks that facilitates people to see where all the conversations are, spread across the various communities.

I did use the crosspost feature. Something's wrong with it?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Hrm, I see... yes that's odd bc e.g. this post is aware of the other one, but the reverse seems not true, and also these posts show up twice in my feed, sorted by Hot (do they not for you? Maybe try sorting by New and look around that timeframe) So I guess I don't know as much about cross-posting as I thought!?:-P

Fwiw, here are a couple of examples I was basing my thoughts on: example 1 example 2. They both have that "cross-posted to" notation, but it could be bc they are merely URL links, or perhaps bc they both happen to be on the same instance - and maybe cross-posting to different communities across multiple instances doesn't work quite the same way?

Working with the Fediverse is not "just like email" - this kind of thing continues to baffle those unaware (in this case, it seems all of us:-).

Yeah, crossposting could definitely use some improvements. I noticed these threads are missing that "cross-posted to" notation as well. You may be right that it's only for link posts.
