I haven't been on Lemmy in so long because I got a new Reddit account and was able to get around my ban. (lemmy.ml)

I'm not going to give out my new username, but I will say it definitely worked. I used Brave web browser, not only that but I used a fake name on my email. I have since avoided a Reddit ban, and oh boy I do miss Reddit. So some rules of thumb is act like someone who is new to Reddit, don't create a new Reddit account and then start following the same subreddits you followed before. Someone who follows a bunch of subreddits after starting an account throws the red flag they know what their doing, but yeah I'm not risking using the same browser or even using Reddit app.

I don't think re-registration is a problem for most of us. we just don't want to go there on a daily basis anymore. especially since all apps have been kicked out other than that garbage, data mining official app.

nowadays if I go there, I only do because I'm following a link, and then I always use a redlib instance to view the content

Can you give some more details on the redlib instance and it's usage for doing as much? I am in the same boat as you and would much prefer being able to have some kind of redirect if I have to look at content under some reddit link.

Thanks.

sure! I use the libredirect addon: https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension/ works in firefox on desktop and mobile

it redirects various privacy invading services to privacy preserving alternative frontends that are ran by volunteers. by default it only redirects youtube, so you would need to toggle on reddit too. Currently it only uses 1 redlib instance by default, you may select more to be used in the addon's settings.

redlib and other frontends are distinct projects. their project page often has a list of public instances. here is redlib's page: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib
but you normally don't have to look at it because libredirect updates its instance list automatically

sometimes an instance is temporarily blocked by reddit, if that happens you can quickly switch to a different instance in the addon's menu.

redlib and other frontends usually have some cpnvenience settings, be sure to check them out. but they need cookies allowed, and they are not synced across instances.
