It would be a shame to lose the wealth of knowledge with easy-ish search that subreddits like datahoarder provide if the subreddit is taken down or stays locked forever. Sure it is currently accessible, but will it stay that way?
I know it is being archived, but the accessibility part is the problem.
While it’s easy enough to get the sub contents in json, I don’t believe there is a post API for lemmy yet, so no way to easily push it back up.
But it is still possible. The question now is should it be done?
Hmmm…. I’d be more inclined to ensure it was archived with the wayback machine, and then refer back to that.
