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! :)
What do you mean by “copy” a subreddit? Do you mean you want to keep all of the posts ever submitted to the subreddit? What any comments?
Well, either of those would be great. Posts would be good but as you‘re correctly pointing out the answers would be great. A place like memes would be ok just with the posts but the subs I mod are support subs so peeps would need the answers.
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.
