How to datahoard Lemmy
Sorry for not doing much research beforehand and asking a newbee question. I am looking for some entrypoint info to the question:
How would one go about datahoarding lemmy?
It seems to be a grade above what I've been doing so far (downloading video/audio from streaming platforms and backing up web articles and blogposts as pdfs) due to the distributed nature and the activitypub protocol.
Relevant stuff that I've found so far but havent studied extensively:
- This does not seem to store most of the data https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer
You're viewing a single thread.
Run your own instance, subscribe to every community, then backup the db.
As far as I have searched, I didn't find a way to find "every" instance. Most of the popular ones - yes, but far from all.
Also I did not know that each instance copies all pf the data of all other instances into their own db.
But thanks, I will try it out next year.
There's no authoritative list of instances since federation isn't required, but tools like lemmyverse.net will give you a solid list of the ones discoverable from the most well known federations.
