A tool that does that on Reddit would be useful too. I don’t need commondreams and theroot opinion articles...

Reddit Enhancement Suite [1] can do that for you - and more.

thx!

commondreams? Are you by chance browsing /r/politics? I find the most useful way to browse /r/politics is to sort by controversial because it pierces the bubble.

/r/politics is just the left version of /r/the_donald, and they're both insufferable.

I miss the niche subs with quality discussion and content, but the rest of Reddit just started overflowing there too and ruined it.

I do not regret deleting my account. Although whenever a web search returns a Reddit link, I don't have RES and old.* redirect to make the site usable any more. Don't know how anyone uses new Reddit.

You're better off just installing something like Boost or Baconreader on your phone to take care of Reddit links from searches. I haven't touched Reddit on a desktop system in over a year because it's just easier to use an app and not have to deal with the ridiculously awful redesign or fiddle with RES.

There are still some useful niche communities. r/bonsai is still about bonsai and relatively meme free. r/amateurradio is ok too

I use a Chrome extension that automatically redirects me to 'old' reddit

If you're searching just the one site then the site: prefix (e.g. site:reddit.com, site:reddit.com/r/<subreddit>) works a treat.

Yes, That's the one! You create a set of rules and you can publicly publish your url. I have one specifically for programming related searches and one for news.

You can have URL patterns for example: en.cppreference.com/<asterisk>

Edit: I wasn't able to get the star to work in the post
