I know it’s not popular and I’m typically against it but I was listening to a podcast and it made me think there are absolutely important communities that shouldn’t be on a centralised platform like Reddit. The contents of them are so important that it should be on the Open Social Web. I’m wondering if there is someone or a community that mirrors subreddits as I would love for the contents of these communities to be preserved. Such as Preservation

https://lemmit.online mirrors Reddit. If a sub you want isn’t mirrored yet you can request it at !requests@lemmit.online
what’s the extent of the lemmit mirror? like, how much can i interact with content mirrored to lemmit?
You can comment if you want but that won’t make it over to reddit. And likewise comments aren’t mirrored over from reddit.
that makes sense. bit of a bummer, engagement is the fun part for me, but also it makes sense that’d be a huge undertaking to mirror that
I’m not against it if it is on a server or a cluster that are separated from the regular feeds. I don’t want to be spammed with mirrored content and try to interact with bots.

I totally agree.
I don’t see any reason why we can’t have Reddit mirrors, especially for the really important stuff, if they are marked as such, in the same way that Lemmy accounts can mark themselves as bot accounts.
People are welcome not to subscribe to them if they don’t want to see that content, but having the content be on Lemmy only helps Lemmy grow stronger, by allowing Reddit users to migrate over to Lemmy.
Plus, the important stuff is not lost, if a corporation shits their bed.
One area that I’m familiar with, lost films and film preservation, is not done by Redditors. I’ve met some of this country’s top archivists and even toured one of the country’s biggest vaults. This is work done by a handful of highly trained professionals. Many can do half assed jobs, but doing it right requires serious training in film history, archival techniques, and other topics in art.
Basically, Reddit contributes nothing to film preservation.
How come that nobody has pinged @rglullis@communick.news and his mirroring project: https://communick.news/c/communick_news_network yet?
Isn’t this what lemmit was for?
I tried making a c/curatedreddit but it never really took off. c/curatedtumblr is going pretty good though.
