    Agree that it’s sad, and I’ve got the export of my posts if that ends up being useful… but idk what to do with it rn

      Sooner or later someone will make something, either a site or actual software, that will be able to parse the dumps and present it in a user-friendly fashion. There are enough users out there with data dumps now to justify it.

      If/when it happens it’ll also be possible to create an archive everyone can see and search that isn’t beholden to reddit at all.
