What would folks think about using this tool to clone the existing subreddit? Losing the historical content would really suck. I make heavy use of subreddit search for solving technical problems.
rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter: 🔥 Anti-Reddit Aktion 🔥
This project translates Reddit API responses into a PL/pgSQL script which loads the data into a Lemmy database.
In other words, it takes Reddit posts/comments and puts them into Lemmy.
PS I am a pretty newb person and last time I tried to do much with a db I didn’t get very far so please no one rely on me to get this done. I will see about giving it a shot but given the short timelines might not get it in time.
What’s your goal?
so a new community can hit the ground running with the thousands of posts of advice, problem solving, experiences, that made the old one valuable.
I‘d like to have this archived somewhere. If this is directly in lemmy, even better.
I mean if we want people to migrate to lemmy, the thing to do would be to just start cloning all the subreddits… “Hey everyone you can pick up where you left off.”
