Why YSK: If you use a VPN, (which you likely have at some point) you have probably encountered this:

really annoying! Today I had enough and googled a way around it.

Here’s the instance that i used today as an example:
https://redlib.ducks.party/

github repo for more information & other instances:
https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib

It’s not possible to interact with any of the information like replying or upvoting, but for simply getting a niche question answered it’s pretty helpful.

Not fully related, but I would only recommend it for information that isn’t on lemmy, it’s best to try to move content over to here if possible.
I kinda want to make some communities for stuff I have to use reddit for, but I mainly use Voyager (mobile) which doesn’t have all the options to operate a server and I wouldn’t want to get in trouble if I fail to moderate it properly or something. Also I have no experience.

    The kicker that made me leave Reddit is my 11 year old account got abruptly locked and then suspended for “technical irregularities” (using a VPN). It’s disappointing how anti-privacy it’s become.

    Let’s bring the content over here so people don’t have to use it at all.

    LibRedirect Firefox addon is good to automatically redirect various websites, the main one I use it fkr being reddit. Redlib etc servers aren’t reliable, but it’ll ping the different ones and find which is working well.
