@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.

Holy fucking shit. I thought the reddit was reinstated at first but this is almost as good. Great work guys :D
I may’ve clickbaited the title just a tad lol
EDIT: Fixt
I thank you for the correction, clickbait is for youtube, we just strive for the truth here.
TBH, this is better. We can now go back and link if we need to.
Agreed. Thank you to everyone for this.
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.
Images are mirrored and served from @gsgmfg@fosscad.io’s instance. We’re gucci
I am so glad you saved all those retards asking if they can shoot their printed guns
It’d be a real shame if we let all those mistakes get memory holed
thats awesome! Thank you all so much!
BEST SHIT EVER. Now we can even link stuff directly in old posts!
Looks great, I found all my posts
thank you so much
Awesome work. I’m grateful it wasn’t all lost. I’m so glad to be rid of that website/horrendous app. Lenny/Mlem will take some getting used to but it can’t possibly be worse than the first party reddit client (rip Apollo)
Amazing, glad to see this in the fediverse
