MODERATORS
I think current solution is grab r/appliancerepair or whatever archive and search/grep it.
I was more meaning if the die hard c/repairappliance guys had access to the r/repairappliance sub archive they could quickly retrieve and post a repevant 5yr old Reddit comment for a new OP in the way that one may search though a meme or gif reaction folder.
But mass spamming communities with old Reddit comment archives isn't a good idea at all. BUT I suppose if someone had their own personal Lemmy instance and were to post a total archive of Reddit it could work. But that seems like a massive strain on the resources of one person's ability to host content.
I don't mean mass spam.
I won't be archiving Reddit, but I am grabbing a few subs.
If someine posts a question about a something obscure, like a particular old appliance repair as mentioned and a someone has a relevant post archived it may be helpful to post a quote, or link to a pastebin alongside a comment.
Much of the useful content on Reddit is often found by clicking on a recent thread where someone has helpfully linked to an older, more complete, answer.
I don't mean spam c/tea with pics from r/tea for Lemmy karma but if someone has a question about the mineral content of 1960's F1 yixing clay and I've got an excellent archived post from some yixing expert 8yrs ago on r/tea covering it beautifully, as I have an archive and tools set up to search it, I'd consider posting it.
