Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

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.

I can actually see some merit to a lemmy API accessible reddit corpus. it would be interesting to reference old reddit info in a lemmy compatible way with zero reference to reddit itself.

doing so for the entire corpus properly (link fixups, etc) would be... challenging, but doable.
