Expats from Reddit's largest community focusing on cannabis flower vaporizers.

Be chill, this is a cannabis forum after all.
Post links, pics, vids talking about where your fav vape/bong/glass/pipe was from.
Don’t sell anything consumable on here. No sales of herb, extract, carts, pens, edibles, drinks, tintcures, anything that’s a consumable product.
DEVICES and ACCESSORIES like a Mighty, Tinymight, some custom glass for a Carta or PuffCo Peak, 510 Mods, log vapes, DIY/One off vapes/pipes/bags/stems/dab tools/Etsy type shit that Etsy bans. That stuff is fine. AT YOUR OWN RISK. And that needs it’s own channel/community(communities) if people are interested in an exchange.
Provide citations/sources for posts/comments where needed.
Openly discuss safety of equipment/devices and cannabis products.
Be mindful of what you post on here. The point is to have the whole server indexed by Google and other search providers and keep the space alive/history documented/growing in the future. (AKA Share Knowledge / Share the vibes. / Don’t get me arrested plz. )

Should old /r/vaporents posts be imported into Lemmy? Or separate? Both? (lemmy.beyondcombustion.net)

A few different options with how to host the archives.

Here's what /r/datahoarder is doing with redarc

We could import it here, put it in a seperate community on this server, host it with redarc on a subdomain, it's pretty much whatever.

I'll put a survey up once I finish that server again for a vote, thought a discussion would be good to have prior to that going up.

Thoughts??

Agree they will at some point nuke that subreddit.

Pretty much everything has been archived that could have been, since the API goes dark in ~2 days.

There's details of what apps were used, where to download the archives directly, links to torrents and such on a post from /r/DataHoarder which I'm collecting links/text/guides from over in our Gitea instance as well as importing projects used for this effort.

So far, there's like ~5-6TB of archives I've downloaded through the links in that post, others on /r/DataHoarder, the-eye.eu, etc.

They go back allll the way to 2005.... It's just text though, no media. Unless the media was a link to Imgur or YouTube or something, then the links are in the posts.

There's a couple bots/scripts that will repost new stuff moving forward from RSS feeds.

To inject directly from those backups into a Lemmy PostgreSQL database, I was using this tool, RedditLemmyImporter. Which, actually looks like it was made by the lemmy developer dessalines moving the r/GenZhou subreddit into lemmy.ml/lemmygrad.ml originally but forked very early to try to obscure that..... so I do feel a bit dirty about that, and more so about Lemmy in general from some of the things I've seen from dessalines themselves.

TBH..... I think it's important to make a Fork of Lemmy itself, and to really really comb through this code base. Not sure if this is a long term solution if dessalines is still the head dev, one of the reasons I'm setting up other forums on this server as well. Lemmy and non-corp/federated social media is good, but I'm not liking the stewards of the lemmy code base the more I read their direct words/actions/history/and code like this importer.
