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 Losing the historical content would really suck.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 could see this being useful as a backup mechanism for niche subreddits like /r/hardware. Which could then be translated to the hardware@lemmy.ml community. But ultimately it needs users posting and commenting more.

      right but at least that way people wouldn’t show up to an empty room. the content would be familiar and set the vibe.
