@gsgmfg@fosscad.io did it, the madman. In conjunction with a kind user from the Index’s Lemmy instance, he was able to restore almost all of the data from /r/fosscad. There’s a bit of a loss in images, but the text – the oh-so-valuable advice and discourse – is all there.

And the best part: it’s federated between both of our instances. There are now not one but two copies of the data: one local to his instance and one local to mine.

    Fucking HUGE

    EDIT: Is there not a concern with the images being hosted on reddit? I’m sure their CDN uses some kind of access monitoring tool that will delete them after not having been accessed over n times in m days.

        I thank you for the correction, clickbait is for youtube, we just strive for the truth here.
