I think what would be best is just doing it once, so that we can access all the content, but we move forward as a separate website, what do you think of that?
I tell you what, a single 20TB hard drive goes for around 500 bucks these days. You go buy one, and you start scraping. Let's see how that goes.
Edit: if you actually do that, you better prioritize your subreddits properly, because I wouldn't be surprised if you can't even fit a single subreddit on there, if you go for a popular one.
Edit 2: There's a joke to be made, here: if you use ZFS, you might actually fit reddit entirely on a single hard drive, given the sheer amount of reposts... :D
Honestly, I wouldn't know where to begin, but if someone would be willing to help me, I don't see why not!

I might be able to do it for just my favorite communities, but yeah the big 20tb issue taking weeks is a dealbreaker for one person doing ALL of it.
But if there was a way to make it easy to mirror a subreddit for an individual who owns a lemmy community... then maybe we could get something to work.
