Could you give an example post of what you mean? Every Post starts with "The original was posted on
/r/blabla", in which the latter links to the original, old.reddit.com link, will that work for you?So the CombatFootage subreddit is the one I've been seeing it on: https://lemmit.online/post/93740
When I click the link on that post it goes to non-old Reddit.
Edit: oh interesting, I see what you mean now. That's very confusing because the r/CombatFootage link looks like something that would take you to the subreddit, not the post on old reddit. Is there any reason not to make the main post link not go to old reddit? I like to click the link directly from the post list instead of going into the post first.
Ah, right. That's because the link of the post itself is set to v.reddit.com (edit: meaning it presents itself like an External link in the RSS feed, rather than a reddit post) - Maybe I can create an exclusion to use the comment link for those posts instead.
In the mean time, you could get around to it by clicking on the
/r/blablablalink in the footer text.Just deployed a new version that redirects v.redd.it and i.redd.it to their "comment page". One of the first posts the bot picked up was already a hit: https://lemmit.online/post/121926 So from now on they should have the proper link inside. Cheers, have a nice weekend!
Awesome! I hope other people appreciate the change!
