    It’s probably easier to use old.reddit.com as the entry point, and filter by new for reliability:

    https://web.archive.org/web/20210601192933/https://old.reddit.com/r/GenZhou/new/

    Let me know if you need any help. I can try to scrap web.archive.org if still needed, and/or write a converter/uploader from json archive if it’s complete.

    Lemmy has API to upload the archive here, but maybe it’s better to cooperate with the admins, so we could create a bunch of fake users per each reddit commenter and have threads mirror the usernames as well (e.g. with a prefix, like reddit_Mai4eeze), and even keep original timestamps of posts and comments.
