The greatest thing about Reddit is finding information on any old topic. For today, I wanted to dig deeper into My Dinner With Andre. RIF tried to open (he’s such a trooper 😢) and when that failed I went to the browser.

I really want nothing to do with supporting that site, but I do want to read these old discussions. Any advice?

When you get to a Reddit thread via Google or other search engines you can request a cached version of it.

Louis Malle is a boss, just thought I’d start with that.

But what did you even want that you could t get on IMDb or Wikipedia? There are plenty of places besides Reddit to chat about film

Are there? IMDb killed its boards like 10 years ago. I am unaware of other large scale movie discussion boards, Reddit has really taken that spot for me.

Whenever I finished a tv series it was nice closure to go through its subreddit and see all the takes, things I missed, etc. Old style media or just marter-of-factly summarizing the plot just doesn’t go as far.

Exactly what usually do as soon as I’m caught up. See the theories and missed connections for TV and book series.

I hope this will eventually also kick off here. For tech news, memes and doomscrolling lemmy is already full enough for my taste, but the casual users deep in fandoms have not arrived, yet, at least not in scale.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
