for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken? (lemmy.world)

For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

I wasn't too cut up about it until 20 minutes ago when I realised I can never go back to a specific subreddit and will lose all the information there. I've copied some basic stuff but I'll really miss asking a question about this fairly obscure subject then getting a detailed answer in minutes/hours. Really going to miss that 😭

Wonder if it would be possible (technically and legally) to make a lemmy instance that is just a read-only mirror of reddit.

All we'd need for that is a nice API, possibly free or reasonably price :-)

I wonder who'd screw that up for us 🙄

I believe yes for both. Would take a big server though.
