Before the blackout I saw some of the posts about helping archive.org to store all reddit, and AFAIK they completed it.
Also, checking stuff to deploy lemmy and help the project I stumbled upon the problem I’ve seen a lot of us have: we search for solutions on reddit.
Most of the times is just to read, not to actually create a post, so I created this addon for Firefox to automatically ask web archive for the page instead of reddit.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reddit-to-wayback-machine/
A few caveats and stuff I’ll improve later,
It forces to old reddit since new reddit doesn’t load everything at once so the snapshot is incomplete.
It forces all the times you search reddit, so if you want to actually visit reddit to interact you need to disable the addon.
It doesn’t handle the case when there’s no snapshot :P
It’s only for Firefox because it uses webRequests, I don’t know yet how to implement this using MV3 to upload it to the chrome store.
can someone please port this extension on iceraven?
