Pro-tip: use a libreddit mirror when linking to a Reddit thread (self.reddit)

Use a libreddit mirror like https://reddit.adminforge.de to link to Reddit threads so that Reddit gets 0 traffic and 0 ad revenue from us opening the thread.

For example, if the Reddit link is:

https://old.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/14clza9/i_present_to_you_john_blobiver/

Then you simply have to replace old.reddit.com by reddit.adminforge.de so that the link becomes:

https://reddit.adminforge.de/r/aww/comments/14clza9/i_present_to_you_john_blobiver/

you are viewing a single comment's thread

do you have an example where it doesn't work?

A lot of what I used to do at Reddit was through mutilReddits, and LibReddit doesn't seem to know how they work: https://old.reddit.com/user/plumpppenguin/m/watchlist/

I'm also unable to get it to open anything mirroring old.reddit; where it works, it's the redesigned pages.
