I’m curious, since one of the first casualties of the Great Reddit API Debacle was Pushshift, whether there’s already any sort of equivalent for Lemmy.
If nothing else, I could imagine a pushshift-like “instance” whose actual purpose is just archiving everything from the instances it’s federated with.
You must log in or # to comment.
some kind of api aggregator could probably work but i don’t think there is one yet
There isn’t but hopefully the lemmy API will be functional enough on its own that we don’t need something like pushshift.
It’s not really the “functionality” of Pushshift that I’m interested in, it’s the datahoarding aspect - a separate repository storing the content of the site so that if someday it goes offline it’ll be preserved.
