… go through your ‘top posts’, copy & paste the text into a doc, post it here, then delete it. Let reddit’s loss be lemmy’s gain!

    I know it’s wildly unrealistic, but how amazing would it be if someone scraped all of reddit’s text and put it as an archive… would waybackmachine do that?

      There is a torrent out there because some company did that up to March 2023. I forgot the name, but it should be findable.

      But be warned, the whole thing is 2TB.

        That’s very cool. If I didn’t have multiple SSDs full of the animations I made (that I stupidly made in far higher definition than necessary) I’d swag it. Maybe now’s the time to work through it, compressing it all so I can be a keeper of the entirety of reddit!

      I tried to export my gdpr data the day I joined lemmy. I have yet to see it be processed. Inouldnt be surprised if they never process it.

        Yep it would not surprise me either. They’ve demonstrated repeatedly as a company that they are willing to operate in an underhanded way.
