I wasn't too cut up about it until 20 minutes ago when I realised I can never go back to a specific subreddit and will lose all the information there. I've copied some basic stuff but I'll really miss asking a question about this fairly obscure subject then getting a detailed answer in minutes/hours. Really going to miss that ๐ญ
Wonder if it would be possible (technically and legally) to make a lemmy instance that is just a read-only mirror of reddit.
All we'd need for that is a nice API, possibly free or reasonably price :-)
I wonder who'd screw that up for us ๐
I believe yes for both. Would take a big server though.
Not Lemmy, but that exists. Libreddit is one of the "mirrors", individual subs have been cloned in Lemmy too
