Honestly, my only use case for reddit currently is as an archive for my questions that likely have answers on reddit. A reddit archive Lemmy instance would allow me to completely stop usage of reddit, easily. I'd imagine there are a lot in the same boat.
Not sure that it's even a feasible option, but it would be welcomed. If anyone has some suggestions to solve this use case I'd be interested to hear it.
There's no feasible way to glean that information quickly with the API changes, but a potential solution to that may come on Bing. I was reading last week sometime that they're partnering with reddit to bring longer threads to bing search results, so that would help if your concern is giving them traffic. Otherwise I can't see anyway of getting around having to just rebuild the archive organically over time here on Lemmy.
