I think it would be great to have a archive so that the various documentation, comments and hacks / workarounds could be searched.
The reason I ask is because they block VPN traffic, restrict some content behind a login wall and I have blacklisted them from my DNS so I plan on never returning.
But I find myself lacking odd tips from the Sway community and other communities.
The archive warriors are downloading Reddit for a while already. 15.6 billion items and counting. You can help too:
https://tracker.archiveteam.org/reddit/
It just lists name of people archiving reddit. where can I get the archived data. do I have to ask one of those people to send me a zip file?
The data is integrated into the Internet archive and available e.g. via the way back machine. Not sure if you can get the whole reddit dataset.
