sorry for wording the title so badly. I realized on 3 different occasions today that googling something showed me reddit as top results but when clicking on the links, the communities were down (obviously). Problem is, the questions I had were pretty specific (jellyfin related) and I couldnt find answers anywhere else. so how do you guys handle this ?

Just check the archived link?

I‘m afraid I don‘t know what you mean by „archived link“, english is not my first language. Could you please explain?

Basically, you can check around the link generated by Google, there is a vertical 3 dot icon for more options.(only on desktop site) when you click it opens a panel on the side, to can then see the bottom and click the "cached" page. This world for anytime a website is down, the website no longer exist, or in our current case, to not visit actual Reddit.

Omg I could kiss you. Reddit has been an excellent bullshit filter for google but the blackouts made it tough.
