Hi there! I moderate a couple subreddits and would like to bring at least a copy of them to lemmy (so I can move them entirely if I decide/am forced to).

I have searched on google and github extensively but since I‘m quite new to python, frankensteining a working script is out of reach just now.

Since the pushshift api has stopped working afaik, most scripts I find will not work. I tried a couple, all with the same outcome so far.

I‘m in contact with a couple coder friends to find someone able to make this work and have at least some seed content (100 posts, all if possible) for these subreddits.

Does anyone here have a working script? And why are we not seeing massive copies of subreddit emerge? Has it just become impossible? (It should at least be possible to use a headless browser to copy the data by „manually“ sifting through subs.

Hope to find someone who can help. Have a good one! :)

    Thanks for mentioning it. I checked the site and referenced stuff. It‘s interesting but I actually dont have the expertise to understand this enough to derive an answer to my problem from it.

    That said I‘ve read a couple other comments that provide pretty interesting solutions. Will work on a solution once I‘ve got more time on my hands.

    Have a good one.
