What value did you get from Reddit that you hope to realize or expand upon here? (lemmy.world)

For me, it's a few things.

  1. A way to burn time that doesn't feel like a digital sugar rush.

  2. Support, camaraderie, and kindness, primarily from /r/stopdrinking.

  3. Niche stuff, like ideas for local hiking and backpacking trips, propaganda posters, and kayaking info.

So sort of create a read-only Lemmy instance that re-creates the accounts and posts from archived Reddit?

    I wonder if someone started this already. It would be great if we can search through old Reddit for collective knowledge even post-Reddit Inc.

    The trick is just hosting it. I don't know how much data that would be. I guess it might not be too bad since it's just text. Again, if anyone wants to fund it I'll make it happen. Otherwise we'll have to wait for the next person to set it up.
