I recently came across a torrent that seems to be an archive of Reddit. It got me thinking if it would be possible to make it locally browsable. However, I also considered the possibility that someone might have already addressed this by creating a public Lemmy instance, enabling the content to be accessible from any federated instance.

    Am I really going to buy a 2TB drive to hold all of reddit…

    Actually, I’m pretty surprised that it’s only 2TB.

      It would be helpful if there were an instance that migrated all of this to Lemmy so that we could access it from any other instance, instead of having to download it for local browsing.

        I haven’t downloaded it. Looks like a collection of compressed files, but I don’t know exactly what’s inside of them. Do you know what format they’re in?
