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 Losing the historical content would really suck.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.
I don’t think they are the same format the Importer script uses. The interface already exists, its the Lemmy API the thing is that is limited, you can’t post more than a few posts every few minutes so it would take forever. So yes this could only be done by an instance admin. I think there should be a the-eye instance which would have all the archive in an easier to consume way.
