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 Losing the historical content would really suck.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.

looking at the instructions, I am not sure it is something a casual user can implement. I think you’d have to have admin access to the server to implement this.
perhaps the lemmy project could design an interface allowing users to import subreddits in this way on instances which allow it. the cost and risk associated with this could be non trivial.
Good to know there are already some archives. Do you think they are the correct format?
