Is there an instance that has migrated all Reddit content? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I recently came across a torrent that seems to be an archive of Reddit. It got me thinking if it would be possible to make it locally browsable. However, I also considered the possibility that someone might have already addressed this by creating a public Lemmy instance, enabling the content to be accessible from any federated instance.

That thing is just hideous. I prefer letting Lemmy grow organically and make its own content without having bots mirror thousands of threads from Reddit. If individual Redditors want to bring their own content that's cool, but to have a bot automatically scrape Reddit like that is a bad idea.

I agree with you, but I guess it still fits OP's request
