What I'm still struggling with is if it's still ok with my mortal compass to use Reddit to find information I know will be there. Specifically, product reviews.

I'm no longer contributing content on Reddit, and I'm not passively browsing either, but how do y'all feel about tapping reddit's wealth of information?

Do whatever you want, bud. If the info is helpful to you, who is anybody to say you can't access it?

Just after you do repost it here

Why does it matter what we think?

I subscribe to RSS feeds for subreddits that don't exist on Lemmy just so that I don't give them any clicks or ad revenue.

For answers to questions or problems that are only available on Reddit, I turn on my favorite privacy browser, I hold my breath, go to that specific post, get my answer, and gtfo asap.

Like the saying goes, never stick it in crazy. But if you have to, be protected.

Good way to keep track of deals/promos and freebies on some subs, just add .rss to the link, input in Feeder, and you're good to go!

Exactly my current setup :)

Why not? I still look up information there too, but I use an adblocker, so it's not like Spez is profiting from me.

If you don't want to give them traffic, you can always visit the search result URL through the Wayback Machine or Archive.today.
