Awesome work! Big respect to all the data hoarders out there, doing their bit to preserve the thoughts and opinions of the many!
- Data hoarders are a weird bunch that is absolutely essential to society. (Speaking as a steam game hoarder who has played less than 5% of the games I’ve bought. I just can’t seem to stop buying games)
  
  You're an archivist. Though I like that you own the term 'data hoarder' so nobody can use it as a pejorative.
- Lemmy datahoarder community is kinda dead though, maybe people reading this thread would like to subscribe.

  Unless there is another community I'm unaware of. Also I don't think that link works, not sure if there is a way to format community links that I'm not aware of.
  
  The lemmy community is not big enough to fill such niche communities yet. It will come in time as more users show up.
There are lots of extremely useful information that has been posted on Reddit over the years, just think of how many times you've searched for things like "best X alternative Reddit" and found a great app suggestion, or when you searched for an error and someone asked about the same thing on Reddit a couple of months ago. This knowledge needs to be preserved and we do need to help the Archive Team out so that we can keep this invaluable source of knowledge.
Thanks for sharing. The Docker container was very easy to set up.
- That's exactly what I have set up. Extremely easy to get going!
Great to know that this exists - going to throw my own computing power at it now.
oh that was super easy to set up, and for once everything worked right the first time lol
Only the the datahording subreddit would be able to do this of course.
