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! :)

    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.
