Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

@[email protected] Got it done, I'm first of the mods here and will be learning a little Lemmy over the next few weeks.

While everything is up in the air with the reddit changes I'll be very busy working on replacing the historical pushshift API without reddits bastardizations should a PS version come back.

In the mean time you should all mirror this data ensuring its survival, do what you do best and HOARD!!

Thank you! It's nice to see my favorite communities join Lemmy. I've been using Reddit less and less.

I'm so glad there is an alternative to reddit now. I love this community and would find it hard to leave reddit if there wasn't an another similar forum

Hi guys. If you're looking for an instance, sh.itjust.works is fast and easy to join. Lemmy has a long road ahead of it but I'm here for the ride.

I.... am honestly surprised, your aren't hosting your own instance...

Well, if ya need help getting one stood up, LMK.

I have kubernetes manifests which can be used, or, the normal github repo for lemmy has docker-compose and ansible playbooks.

Long time lurker here (or there), so I finally created an account to contribute. Thanks datahoarders for all the knowledge you spread on the internet, even if it is geared towards hoarding some questionable stuff.

Questionable like 300TB+ of unique Taylor Swift media?
