every-time someone post a github link, i spend 2h trying to get it to work, and it doesnt... I dont even know what the purpose of github is, why everyone link to it, and why it is so complicated to have anything on it to run

Ok I tried. This is shit. After reading that fucking github without understanding what the point was. downloading Libredirect as instructed (which I had previously installed, and ditched for Redirector, because libredirect is shitty) , and still not knowing WHERE to redirect, I finally by random chance find a clear link here: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md
So redlib, is just a complicated way to get one of those link. BUT Those links (which is redlib without the extra step.. so link to them instead please) are shit
because the default visualisation is modern reddit, which is just a endless tiktok/insta/fb-like feed of shit. If you want to see past all the pile of shit , and then select the one post that might be a good one, you have to select the "compact" visualisation. You can change that in Setting. Great.
BUT
Now, we have the second shitty UI implementation: they miss the basic feature that old reddit and LEMMY use. 1 click preview of image or text, without quitting the actual page. Without that feature, every thing need 2 clic and 2 move across the screen : you clic a thing that might be cool, that open the second page with the image/video/text.. you realize it was shit, you have to move the mouse to go back in your browser, and clic there. Then move back to the next image, clic it... and so on.
Without the one clic preview, all those feed app are shit. You cant find anything without an extended amount of time or endless scrolling..
The good new in all that is that Lemmy was very well done. It has the perfect UI to favor the finding of information, instead of favoring mindless scrolling. But the pile in Lemmy is small, and you have to skim through reddit to find some interesting stuff still... and with the death of old reddit, you cant anymore.
