All excellent ideas. I just didn't want to lose all the content I created over the 10 years being on Reddit. Not to mention all the great post I saved and even comments I created. And some others created and I saved.

Because they had made a great quote, or list of books I should read. Want to save all that content.

In any case I would definitely look into backing these up for you personally.

I am not too fond of the idea of pumping old reddit content out onto lemmy (you couldn't recreate the entire threads by yourself anyways).

BUT, I too have a post or two that I like a lot and would love to be on lemmy too. I know it's a bit more work, but maybe create a summary post of the topic in a fitting sublemmy. That way you do transfer the knowledge and make it accesible again AND you create a new high-quality piece of content for this community. It may not be new to the world, but it will be new to basically anyone over here! Reddit is so vast, stuff just gets buried and most people never saw it.

I was thinking of just posting my old Reddit posts over here not the whole thread of comments. Be interesting but a lot of work and like you said it wouldn't be the same. But an archive of it would be nice.
