Can we recreate old Reddit on Lemmy by just copy/paste old questions and answers and replace searches on Google eventually?

That sounds like a shitton of spam. I feel like instead, someone just needs to make a searchable mirror/archive of Reddit to preserve it's knowledgebase.
-
Can it be done? Theoretically yes. Should it be done? Probably no.
-
Same questions, better answers?
-
That would be helpful to a huge community, lot of answers need updates anyway
-

-
lots of questions are time sensitive, seeing answers that should belong on a different timestamp would look weird
-
It would be newer information.

Is this even a good format to archive information? I'd prefer any information worth saving to be written into some kind of formal documentation.

I agree but fuk spez 😂

Did you mean: lemmit.online

Legally? No, that would be copyright infringement, unless you tracked down the original authors and got their permission.
The copyright on all those questions and answers belongs to the people who wrote them.
Reddit has (under its ToS) a perpetual license from those people to publish that copyrighted work.
You don't.

I wish them all the best enforcing that, lol.

Oopy question /paste answer is a bad idea but copy question /update answer is better.

Stop downvoting this post; it’s mildly funny

Can we strive for better and not let corporations manipulate karma for cheap advertising, and do away with the company that directly influenced the civil unrest and riots?
