I wish there was a way to migrate reddit data to some other website. The amount of data lost when reddit finally collapses will be tragic.

What do you mean by reddit data exactly?

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 32 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Maybe I'm wrong for it, but adding "reddit" for obscure tech questions to internet searches still gets me closer to the truth.

Their datasharing agreement with google probably hints that they have access to which subreddits get accessed most using this technique. Gonna guess if they paywall anything it's gonna be the somewhat useful stuff lol

they'd have that info from the referer anyway - data sharing agreements would more likely include analytics on the content of the search queries

It's the only way to get halfway relevant results anymore it feels like.

[–] ksynwa_from_lemmygrad@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

I agree with that. I do that all the time.

run the archiveteam warrior if you have spare server space.
