... go through your 'top posts', copy & paste the text into a doc, post it here, then delete it. Let reddit's loss be lemmy's gain!

If you're so inclined, Reddit User to SQLite is a project that uses Reddit API to save as many posts and comments by a user to a SQLite Database. It then has suggestions about a good way to view the data in the web browser as well.

I know it's wildly unrealistic, but how amazing would it be if someone scraped all of reddit's text and put it as an archive... would waybackmachine do that?

There is a torrent out there because some company did that up to March 2023. I forgot the name, but it should be findable.

But be warned, the whole thing is 2TB.

That's very cool. If I didn't have multiple SSDs full of the animations I made (that I stupidly made in far higher definition than necessary) I'd swag it. Maybe now's the time to work through it, compressing it all so I can be a keeper of the entirety of reddit!

I tried to export my gdpr data the day I joined lemmy. I have yet to see it be processed. Inouldnt be surprised if they never process it.

[–] Transcendant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yep it would not surprise me either. They've demonstrated repeatedly as a company that they are willing to operate in an underhanded way.

[–] 1chemistdown@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks for this. I’ve been trying find a way to get this.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just requested my data from them under that Euro law thing, they emailed me a zip with what I assume is my 10+ years of post history, isn’t that all you need to do?

[–] 1chemistdown@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not sure, but the data they keep on you can be very different than the stuff you post and comment on. The company the data keeps is stuff like geolocation, liberal/conservative swing based off of upvote/downvote history, what you sub too and how that correlates with places you go.

The company the data keeps
