It would be a shame to lose the wealth of knowledge with easy-ish search that subreddits like datahoarder provide if the subreddit is taken down or stays locked forever. Sure it is currently accessible, but will it stay that way?

I know it is being archived, but the accessibility part is the problem.

    I love this idea. It raises some issues to think about, too. Like, who “owns” that data? Would Reddit file a lawsuit against the Lemmy instance arguing that the data belongs to Reddit? Does the data belong to the users who posted? What TOS do we agree to when signing up for a Reddit account? Are we giving them ownership of all content we post?
