Pro-tip: use a libreddit mirror when linking to a Reddit thread (lemmy.world)

Use a libreddit mirror like https://reddit.adminforge.de to link to Reddit threads so that Reddit gets 0 traffic and 0 ad revenue from us opening the thread.

For example, if the Reddit link is:

https://old.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/14clza9/i_present_to_you_john_blobiver/

Then you simply have to replace old.reddit.com by reddit.adminforge.de so that the link becomes:

https://reddit.adminforge.de/r/aww/comments/14clza9/i_present_to_you_john_blobiver/

you are viewing a single comment's thread

This is good to know and could be something I'd use a lot, but it isn't working. Every Reddit address I try it on, the reply is "Nothing here. Head back home?"

Does the page need to be pre-prepared, like a web.archive.org address?

You could try another instance. Here's a list for you https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit-instances/blob/master/instances.md

Or you could get this add-on and have it do it for you https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension
