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 ?

    If the page is not archived you are shit out of luck.

    You can ask in Jellyfin’s forums or IRC Matrix room. It’s not as convenient but it will help those looking for help later.

      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.
