@gsgmfg@fosscad.io did it, the madman. In conjunction with a kind user from the Index’s Lemmy instance, he was able to restore almost all of the data from /r/fosscad. There’s a bit of a loss in images, but the text – the oh-so-valuable advice and discourse – is all there.
And the best part: it’s federated between both of our instances. There are now not one but two copies of the data: one local to his instance and one local to mine.

BEST SHIT EVER. Now we can even link stuff directly in old posts!
I am so glad you saved all those retards asking if they can shoot their printed guns
It’d be a real shame if we let all those mistakes get memory holed
thats awesome! Thank you all so much!
thank you so much
Holy fucking shit. I thought the reddit was reinstated at first but this is almost as good. Great work guys :D
I may’ve clickbaited the title just a tad lol
EDIT: Fixt
TBH, this is better. We can now go back and link if we need to.
Agreed. Thank you to everyone for this.
Fucking HUGE
EDIT: Is there not a concern with the images being hosted on reddit? I’m sure their CDN uses some kind of access monitoring tool that will delete them after not having been accessed over n times in m days.
Images are mirrored and served from @gsgmfg@fosscad.io’s instance. We’re gucci
Amazing, glad to see this in the fediverse
Awesome work. I’m grateful it wasn’t all lost. I’m so glad to be rid of that website/horrendous app. Lenny/Mlem will take some getting used to but it can’t possibly be worse than the first party reddit client (rip Apollo)
Looks great, I found all my posts
