Reddit habit is hard to break. (lemmy.ml)

I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

There are archives of Reddit history, notably the Pushshift archive & current ongoing Archive Team archive. Much of the data can be searched on the Wayback Machine provided by the Internet Archive.

Would it be possible to somehow mirror the archive as a read only lemmy instance? Like... Funny@oldreddit so that it would be still searchable from lemmy?

I can look into doing this because it sounds like a genius idea. I'll have to work with a friend and see what we can pull together
