saidit VS reddit-html-archiver

For Reddit alternatives, it looks like https://saidit.net/ (https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit) and https://phuks.co/ (https://github.com/Phuks-co/throat) could be viable alternatives. They're open source, have the UX features we desire (threaded, voting, sorting, collapsing).

And while the content of the site is kind of... well, despicable and kinda fucked up, this project: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit has made tons of fixes and improvements to the code itself going forward, so there's one source of fixes/improvements to draw from, as well as a few other active forks.

In fact one site I found a repo for has done so and has made many fixes/improvements to that code -> https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit

One codebase that could probably work is this one: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit but there are others out there.

Why not point Apollo at a Reddit alternative, or use the open-source code for Reddit (or code like this https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit) instead of shutting it down?

If Apollo's users (or a good percentage of them) moved over to an alternative platform, that would be poetic justice, at least.

saidit went down this path, and it was indeed a nightmare. what reddit had posted publicly was unusable and misleading, effectively token open source. if anyone is brave enough to try, they should check for fixes here: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit

People have even forked reddit already (don't know much about that site) : https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit

Here's the source code: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit

Other options, like https://github.com/libertysoft3/reddit-html-archiver are not working anymore (I tried it to create a self-hosted /r/planetside backup).

Well done, now you should make it sane. No need to reinvent the wheel here. Just rewrite reddit-html-archiver to use the raw json from redarcs rather than the pushshift api.

I've seen several banned subs archived using https://github.com/libertysoft3/reddit-html-archiver

https://github.com/libertysoft3/reddit-html-archiver can accomplish step 1 out of the box Parse for every line including soundgasm and/or other domains you are targeting, and maybe run a dedupe on the list before download to lighten the load on yt-dl since it wasnt optimized for that last I checked that deep (which is YEEEEARS ago fwiw)

You could try using https://github.com/libertysoft3/reddit-html-archiver which is the software we use to power our reddit archiving efforts over at https://the-eye.eu/r/
