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.

I'm curious, since one of the first casualties of the Great Reddit API Debacle was Pushshift, whether there's already any sort of equivalent for Lemmy.

If nothing else, I could imagine a pushshift-like "instance" whose actual purpose is just archiving everything from the instances it's federated with.

some kind of api aggregator could probably work but i don’t think there is one yet
